From dealing with night sweats and extreme fatigue to navigating various treatment options and TKI's, Mark's experience highlights the importance of listening to your body and seeking multiple medical opinions. His story underscores the critical role of a supportive community, both personal and medical, in managing a serious illness.

Thank you for sharing your health crisis story, sir. I sincerely hope that you continue to respond well to treatment. You're still very young & have your whole life ahead of you. God bless.
Thanks for share my Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma I part contributed to stress my 18 year old son suffered TBI plus working 12 hr shifts plus helping with my son as a caregiver.
Thank you for sharing your story.
I applaud you for sharing your story. And I am terribly sorry you had to receive that news all by yourself. God Bless you .🙏🏼
You look strong and well now. Well done navigating this difficult disease. My fabulous, wonderful, loving husband died from ALL 11 years ago when he was 59. The treatment was hell.
Thank you for sharing Mark
What a nice guy you are! I hate seeing bad things happen to aweasome people! 😢 l wish all the best for you! Hoping you get better soon! 🙏😊🌠 Thankyou so much for sharing your story! You are so brave too! 💪👊
My prayers are with you 🙏❤
Very well spoken and easy to understand, thank you for sharing your story! Best wishes for your future! I am curious, just how high was your WBC? I can't get a straight answer from my oncologist how high is too high. And at what point do they do a bone marrow biopsy. From my understanding your serum test levels have to be off the charts before they get concerned or do a BMB.🙏❤️
I was told once that wbc can go really high (400,000 in some ).Usually they look for other things too- enlarged spleen, liver, lymph nodes etc. then they usually do a bone marrow biopsy.
Glad you’re doing well… good not to stress👍
🙏 ❤ 🙏
For You
Always & Forever
Was this recorded in a public space?
I thought that was so odd… I couldn’t hear at times
I would definitely go for the transplant if your leukaemia remains stubborn, I've worked in haematology and oncology for many many years so I've seen it all I know how brutal the regime is before a transplant but you need to live so go for it. My son had lymphoma when he was eight it was very advanced but kids are so resilient they don't show symptoms until they are really poorly. Luckily after very brutal chemo, he lost his hair fingernails toe nails spent six months on hospital got sepsis with every cycle of chemo as well as needing blood and platelets all the time, he ended up being fed through his central line when the methotrexate damaged the mucosa from his mouth all the way down to his stomach, it was a nightmare time, but he is well and has been for over twenty years. I wish you much luck and send healing vibes, I'm not religious but I am in your corner, all the very best from the Uk🇬🇧
Infusions?…rituximab plus btk inhibitor?
I have people that wonder why I’m not dead yet with such a continuous cancer🙄
🙏🙏🙏✌
get the transplant. the sooner the better. BEEN THER DONE TAHT!!
