USA Online Support Group Meeting
Join us on Wednesday, May 27th for a special U.S. Pernicious Anemia Support Group meeting featuring a guest presentation from a thoughtful, patient-centered primary care physician.
Dr. Muhammad Raza Aftab is a direct primary care physician in Chicago and the founder of Chicago Direct Primary Care. His practice focuses on prevention and proactive risk assessment, helping patients identify early warning signs for chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, metabolic dysfunction, and other long-term health concerns. He is passionate about making healthcare more accessible, practical, and personalized so patients can take meaningful steps toward better long-term health.
Dr. Raza will walk us through a brief, practical overview of pernicious anemia, with a focus on the testing used to confirm a diagnosis and the different ways those tests can be obtained. The conversation will also touch on treatment options and how patients are actually accessing them across different settings. We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A and discussion so you can ask questions and share your experience. This is a great chance to connect, learn, and be part of a broader conversation around improving access to care.

I need advice, as I can not find a doctor knowledgeable regarding P.A. My P.A. has really advanced without maintenance and care and I have had nine endoscopy giant polyp, 8-15 cm, removals in the last 3 years. Now, they want to remove my stomach due to changing cells. They say my case is extremely rare, but I do not want my stomach removed unless it is necessary to avoid cancer metastasis. Please help! My appointment with the surgeon is Feb. 11th. I just found this site last night.
We do not give advice here on the blog, but please email us or call our helpline if you are a member for support.
