FISH testing and chromosomes for dummies
I am betting most of us had a cll tabula rasa at diagnosis, that is, our knowledge of cll was a blank slate. When told I had cll, all I heard was the word "leukemia". Google became my best friend and worst enemy. One of the first things I learned was that cll was not as bad as some other leukemias.

High platelets essential thrombocytosis
So been to see haematologist today Pointless exercise- all bloods normal but jak2 mutation still outstanding. He said if its essential thrombocytosis I will need aspirin and not to worry? I honestly am so upset

Why Is the Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Gene Mutation Status a Prognostic Indicator in CLL? - Dr Keating
A complex but interesting read Acta Haematol August 2018;140:51–54 The immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgHV) mutation status correlates with the clinical outcome of patients with CLL treated with chemoimmunotherapy. Why the survival rate of patients with unmutated IgHV is worse than that of patients

Advice please....
It's been 3 weeks since my diagnosis for Hairy Cell
Leukaemia
and I'm slowly coming to terms with it, however I am confused. My consultant at the hospital has put me on 'Wait and Watch' but said I would be monitored regularly and would need regular blood tests and scans.

Hair transplant and CLL
Has anyone here with CLL had a hair transplant (after early stage diagnosis?) Is that safe or crazy? I'm relatively young to have it and I guess a bit vain but am not sure if the CLL makes no difference or the trauma encourages it.....

Remission
So the PETSCAN and the bone marrow biopsy say no leukemia or lymphoma for me. That means total remission but they still want me to have a transplant waiting for an appointment from MD Anderson in Texas.

1 week update into Imbruvica
My first 7 days of Imbruvica 420 mg haven't been as bad as expected. No fatigue to speak of. The only side effects are temporary stomachs which I can remedy with yogurt or digestive enzymes, and temporary intestinal cramps.

Long-Term Ibrutinib Therapy Reverses CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion in B Cell CLL
Chronic Lymphocytic
Leukaemia
(CLL) is associated with immune suppression and susceptibility to infection. CD8+ T cell numbers are increased and demonstrate elevated expression of PD-1 and impaired function.

Going down
I lost my Dad suddenly in April 19’ to a complication of
Leukaemia
when we thought he was recovering well and in the last few weeks my uncle died, unexpectedly on a flight home from his holiday. I don’t think that I have even started to grieve properly for Dad yet and now my Uncle going too.

CLL AND BRONCHIECTASIS
I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic
Leukaemia
in 2010 and have been with the CLLSA group here on HU for 6-7 years. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis after a high resolution CT scan. I hope to find some info on trials and alternative treatments.
