my oncologist says I need a bone marrow transplant very soon after two treatments my white blood cells have dropped to 8 th. MY ZAP 70 IS POSITIVE AND SAID MY CLL IS VERY AGGRESSIVE.. I AM NOT DOUBTING HIM BUT I WAS TALKING TO A MAN WHOSE WHITE COUNT WAS TWICE AS MUCH AS MINE AND HE JUST WENT THROUGH STANDARD TREATMENT NO BMT AND AFTER 15 YEARS IS DOING WELL..
MD zap 70 is considered as a bad prognostic marker. but only that will not let u to a transplant. The main parameters are your response to initial line of treatment. even refractory cases nowadays have a new FDA approved drug. Dont worry

Hello my fiancé was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma stage IIB sep 2012. And just recently went for a bone marrow transplant. He got discharged from hospital about less than a week ago because of good white cell counts. But just 2 days ago, he had a cough and the cough is now phleghm-y after he took some cough syrup . And just yesterday be started to have night sweats . Is the cancer coming back?
MD I don't think your fiancé cancer resurfaced again within this short time.
This may be related to infection, as just 2 weeks back only completed the transplant. a trial of antibiotics can be tried. If symptoms persistent, better to search for recurrence of disease.
My husband's face was very pay off almost grayish looking after working in the yard. He came and took a shower and lay down and then everything was fine. He is 62 years old post bone marrow transplant and chemo in 07 for amyloidosis. It also had an arotic valve replacement in 09
He has low testosterone and it's not able to take the patch or injections at this time due to a PSA elevation post an infection in 2011. He just may need to call PCP He seems fine now but tired.
MD Dear patient,
One of the concerns would be angina, or low blood supply to the heart with exertion; there are many risk factors, including prior chemo and amyloidosis itself; other concern would be degeneration of the aortic valve. I agree that touching base with PCP is warranted and perhaps he...

MD Symptoms: Persistent cough since April 2014 that does not respond to antibiotics or cough meds. I cough until I become nauseated and vomit. No temperature. History: I am being treated by the COH for a Bone Marrow Transplant I underwent in Sept 2013. I was placed on a number of medications including a couple of Steroids, Anti Viral, Anti Fungal, and Anti Rejection Meds. My body did well accepting the transplants with few complications until they started weening me off the meds. After removing from one of the Steroids (Prednisone) and both Anti Rejection drugs I started feeling shortness of breath and overall weakness. A Scan showed I had suffered Congested heart failure. They started me on Cardisolol (heart med) and changed my blood pressure meds from Amlodipine and Atenolol to Hydrochlorothiazide and Lisopril. I developed a persistent cough (which I still have) and blood pressure started going too low so they changed the Lisopril to Losartan. This cough doesn t happen all the time but, when it does it last so long I become nauseate and vomit. Prior to coughing I spit up this foamy, sticky phlegm. Cough medications do not help. Happens mostly when I laying down. Recent chest x-ray was clear.
