GPA AKA Wegeners granulomatosis
I am so frustrated as I am still suffering yet no one will give the green light for the
cyclophosphamide
( chemo) to properly address this awful disease. I am now. Wing referred to a specialist centre, could be Addenbrookes or Birmingham, I don't know as yet.

Under 50 and had FCR?
I am 44 11q and unmuted. I had 18 nodes enlarged and started treatment shortly after diagnosis. I start my last treatment soon. I would like to hear from others who might be similar to me on how long it was until the CLL returned and you needed treatment again. Thanks!

5 vs 6 rounds of FCR
Shortly after my 5th treatment I became sick. Despite 4 rounds of antibiotics I could not shake it and my last treatment was delayed until I was well. Unfortunately I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia where I am now. It has now been 7 weeks since my last treatment. My recent PET/CT scan shows

My success with Imbruvica (ibrutinib
I've posted before that for almost all of 2015 I was treated for ITB. My platelet counts ranged up and down from 2 to 50 all year. In December I switched to another doctor and he did a bone marrow biopsy and told me on Christmas Eve that I have CLL. He immediately started me on FCR, but after two

Want to Hear From a Man Who Has Lived With CLL for 38 Years? Read Doyle's Story Here!
Thought, since I was once told I had 3-5 years, 37 years ago, I would share some of my background with you. First treated by local hematology/oncologist in Denver with Leukeran and prednisone. Likely before it was needed. Later seen by Dr Freireich at MDA. His people round tabled my case and chose

Is ibrutinib enough?
Hi all, new to posting, so hope to be concise as possible. Currently on ibrutinib now for 14 months with a wonderful response other than the multitude of irritating side effects. My question is do I continue to be satisfied with where I am in treatment or should I be more aggressive in seeking a complete

Microscopic Polyangiitis
My mum was diagnosed with Microscopic Polyangiitis in May 2014 and initially was treated with high dose prednisolone and several cycles of
cyclophosphamide
infusion and then went on to Azathioprine and low dose prednisolone and she has been on the latter for over a year now.

Transferring treatment to another country
I've been told today that I need to start FCR treatment soon for my CLL. This will be my first treatment having been diagnosed in Nov 2011. Trouble is, my wife and I are planning to move back to her home country of Denmark in April. My haematologist says that they would provide the necessary papers

Any way to shrink lymph nodes without full treatment?
Hi, I was diagnosed in late November of 2014. On w&w with appointments every 3 months until my last checkup in October 2015 where they 'signed me off' for 6 months after a FISH prognostic showed no 'bad' markers. So far so good, apart from the lymph nodes in my neck and jaw. They have been swollen pretty

Update before starting 2nd FCR treatment v
Hi. My 1st treatment FCR has been challenging to say the least. The actual treatment was what I expected after reading all your messages. The normal tiredness and just feeling unwell. I noticed a rash starting and it seen my consultant who said it was an allergy to the antibiotics I was given. So not

Out of remission?
My very first post but I have been following for awhile. Exactly when is a person considered out of remission? I was Dx with CLL in 2012. 4 rounds of FCR in 2013. In remission for almost three years. But for the last year my blood numbers have been trending up. White count now 8.2, ACL 3. If they rise

FCR follow up is CT necessary?
Hi, we are coming up on two years since my husband finished a 6 month treatment with fcr. We had been told he had a "complete response with incomplete recovery of the bone marrow." His blood counts improve some then dwindle some; currently neutropenic again barely above 500. His onco has been insisting
