A man known as the “ #GenevaPatient ” has become the latest person in the world to be cured of #HIV after a #StemCellTransplant for #Cancer treatment.
While there have been five other known cases of people who have been cured of HIV - meaning they have been declared in long-term remission - his case is so far unique. He’s the only one who received #StemCells from a donor who does not have a rare gene mutation - #CCR5 - that blocks HIV from entering cells.

I talk in this article about my how my allergies came back after my stem cell transplant, and how I dealt with them:

Another #draft for my ko-fi #subscribers. In this story I talk about how my allergies disappeared for a while after my cancer but came back and how I dealt with it:

My cancer, which was in my brain stem, and the treatment I got for it lessened my ability at masking my pansexuality, desire for polyamory, desire for BDSM, and my autism. I wrote an article about it:

I danced today. That had not happened in a while.
Long story short, my allergies were gone, due to my stem cell transplant, but I think they crept back. I've started taking antihistamines again and I feel much better than I did.
As to why I did not think my allergies were back... Prior to the chemo if I did not take medicine I'd sneeze like a maniac. No sneezing now. Not sure why that is. 🤷 But I had other symptoms.

I just took a nap. I think my #energy levels are not *quite* what they used to be...
At the same time I remember when I was 27 and working in an office, I often needed an afternoon #nap to make it through the day.
I'm 50 now, and I've had #chemo and a stem cell transplant. I don't think the need for naps is ever going to go away, especially when I'm #alone like now.
I have #kava brewing right now, however. 😛

I got a coupon for my next poutine...
It expires on June 24th...
Yeah...
If you're French-Canadian or know French-Canadian culture, you know what that date is.
🤣
(Coincidentally, that's also the date of Day Zero when I got my stem cell transplant.)

The Bcl-2 inhibitor #venetoclax can selectively deplete hematopoietic stem cells and reduce radiation doses during conditioning for #StemCellTransplant in large animals, suggesting the drug could minimize toxicity and foster graft tolerance. @ScienceTM https://scim.ag/2jg #press

I've been sneezing today. I'm wondering if my seasonal allergies are back.
From what I've read a stem cell transplant will remove the allergies, but only for a while.

Son still in #hospital tonight. Meds changed to see if that allows his kidneys to recover. Hope this doesn't mess up the plan for #StemCellTransplant in February... 🤞
Looks like an #introduction is in order. I’m a commuter #cyclist (#eCargobike) and #dad that also does #hematology and #stemcelltransplant. #food and #gardening are my therapy. I’m also intrigued by #urbanplanning and invested in #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau. The more I see in practice the more I realize that #health #design #climate the built environment and #policy are intimately linked…so my posts and retweets are a mishmash.
