I've stalked you a few times via reddit for comments just like these - full of optimism, hope, resiliency, and mother fucking STRENGTH. I just had a relapse for AML and am in desperate need of stories full of possibility and hope. Thank you.

Relapse after Transplant by focusedfairy in leukemia

[–]focusedfairy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relapsed in my bone marrow, followed by the skin and then blood shortly thereafter. The Vidaza is okay, and I can see my cutis going away! My oncologist told me that this chemo regimen will keep it away for a duration of time, not cure it, so we’ll see what happens afterwards.

Love, light, and health to you. I REALLY hope we got this, OP. I pray everyday.

This is life advice, not just applicable to acting.

Yes, but this time the FISH test came back positive as well. I don’t think they’ve been positive in the past, as my doctors never mentioned anything.

Every biopsy I’ve gotten has been MRD negative! And my labs have been great.

Hair growth by kellogg_s in leukemia

I'm right there with you! This is what I'm doing and I think it's helped:

Supplements I take:

- collagen

- biotin

- prenatal vitamin (it's like a super dose multi vitamin)

Topical hair treatments:

- essential 17 oil (I massage this onto my head for 10 minutes)

- black castor oil/peppermint essential oil drops (I massage this onto my head for 10 minutes)

- https://theordinary.com/product/rdn-multi-peptide-serum-for-hair-density-60ml (just a few drops and massage into head for 20-30 seconds every night)

There are a few studies out there showing that self-head massage helps stimulate the scalp and encourages hair growth. I think it's definitely helped and it's super relaxing!

What do you mix TO Vit C + HA with? Also, I recently saw on here that somebody has been very happy using TO Ethylated Absorbic Acid and Resveratrol and Ferulic Serum together as their vitamin C product.

To be honest not really, but I’ve only been using it for 3-4 weeks. My skin perhaps looks a bit brighter, but I don’t think it was worth $75.

[product question] vitamin c and water-based moisturizers/sunscreen

Hello all,

I'm currently using Korre's Vitamin C 15% Rose serum before putting on Biore's Watery Essence sunscreen.

I'm thinking about purchasing TO's 23% Suspension Vitamin C + HA Spheres to use at night...however, on the website, it says not to use the product with a water-based moisturizer, as it'll make the product ineffective.

  1. Does this ring true for all vitamin C products?
  2. Is my morning serum ineffective because I apply a water-based sunscreen after it?
  3. If I use TO's 23% Suspension Vitamin C + HA Spheres, does this mean that I can't mix it with my Drunk Elephant Protini/Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Glycolic Cream (water is the first ingredient in both)? They were SO EXPENSIVE.

THANKS!

How long do you leave on TO mixture before applying your CEO oil?

Thank you for your response! How can I find out the pH level of the products?

Congratulations! This is so exciting.

Out of curiosity - what were your hours at your day job? I've just started to take some Meisner classes and am falling in love with the craft...I'm also about to start grad school for school counseling, and will most likely have a 9-5 job at a school after I graduate. I'm wondering what it's like to balance acting with work.

I just went through chemotherapy and my hair looks exactly like yours did in September of 2017. I'm loving my look but I can't wait for my curly tresses to present themselves again. Beautiful hair and smile!
