Great news for you in the stable Mabel club xxx

Hi Tvman, that is mostly good news so Congratulations! The main thing is they are keeping an eye on you, which they are! Mrs T. must be so relieved to find she is married to Mable! LOL!

Hi Tvman, a bit of a mixed bag but mostly good news.  

Hi tvman,

Good news that you’re SM but must be quite worrying to be on the treatment plan you are on. Fingers crossed that these drugs don’t affect your other organs and that you remain a Mabel for the foreseeable.

Hi Tvman,

Glad to hear that you're in the Stable Mable club. The treatment for your haemochromatosis sounds daunting. The condition is in my family as well, but so far everyone who has it can be treated by venesection. Fortunately for me I'm only a carrier.

Hi Sarah Salis , thank you, I'm just keeping my head above water as far as the cancer is concerned.

Haemochromatosis is a different matter though. I've done some research about it and to be a carrier, only one parent has one of the mutated genes. My mutated gene is called H63D. Both my parents must have had the mutated gene for me to first of all have Haemochromatosis and secondly to develop the disease. My brother also has the mutation and when his level reaches 60.or 70, he's in for a venesection whereas I have to have iron chelation tablets. I've been on them before but some kind of miscommunication occurred that left me without treatment for the last 3 or 4 years, tablet wise and side effects monitoring.

I'll be back on track soon.

Take care Sarah

My mother's parents must have had the mutation because she and at least one sister have it. We think my grandmother must have had it, and assume grandad was a carrier.

Anyone having the mutated gene is a carrier but anyone having both parents with the mutated gene will be a carrier and have a 1 in 4 chance of developing the condition/disease. Hope that's clear. 

My parents didn't know they had the gene because there was no knowledge of it before they died.

Take care Sarah

Hi Tvman. Well that’s great news about being stable. Fingers crossed your treatment plan does not cause severe side effects for you, it’s always worrying but fingers crossed the 3 month check is OK.
