Hi All,

I have PNH (been diagnosed for about 3 years). In December 2018, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Has anyone else dealt with PNH and a cancer diagnosis?

My dilemma is whether or not to pursue chemo as part of the breast cancer treatment. My understanding is that chemo reduces the blood count numbers, so with my PNH, I may end up needing transfusions during my chemo treatment.
Thankfully thus far, I have only needed one transfusion, so it’s a bit scary to think of undergoing multiple transfusions due to chemo.

Has anyone else with PNH gone through chemo for cancer?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
