Post ET MF - Advice Please
The consultant suggested they might try
Busulfan
as an alternative - this concerns me, as I have read about the adverse affects. We have an in person appointment at the hospital next week, and I am going with him.

Ruxalitinib and Peg interferon
He has been advised that he should start on either
Busulfan
or Pegylated Interferon. Hydroxycarbamide was tried for a few months prior to his commencement of Ruxolitinib which at that time had little effect to his pruritus.

Busulfan
Everytime l complain about hydroxy side effects to the medics lt feels like lm threatened with
Busulfan
as the only other treatment option available other than Hydroxycarbamide which has many bad side effects for me.

Pegasys and Pericarditis?
Anagrelide and
Busulfan
don’t look attractive! PV dx2017, over 70 yrs so high risk. Any insights would be valuable. Thanks!

Busulfan vs Allele
These very small, and older pre 2017, (2014-2015) studies were
busulfan
as 2nd line treatment where the regular drugs didn't work. The 1st study includes Dr Silver as an author. The 1st chart is quite impressive.

Hydroxyurea side effects?
I am considering Hydroxyurea or
Busulfan
oral. I know this has been discussed previously but am interested in side effects if any you have encountered with these chemo drugs good and bad.

My consultant is advising me to go onto either
Busulfan
or Ruxolitinib but concerned that either of these would reduce my immunity.

Clopidogrel and Lansoprazole
There is no problem with
Busulfan
and Lansoprazole. Has anybody been in a similar situation and what was their experience?

Alternative treatments for Busulfan
We are concerned that
Busulfan
may be getting no longer suitable. We have attended several MPN forums and
Busulfan
is rarely mentioned and it appears that Pegasus Interferon is more popular.

Should I change to Busulfan?
When I saw my haematologist a couple of weeks ago she asked if I would like to switch to
busulfan
to see if I have fewer side effects. Is anyone else on this medication? She said it wasn't offered to younger people because it can affect the lungs.

Gene Therapy Cures Different X-Linked Disease.
The patient then receives two days of low-dose
busulfan
, a chemotherapy drug that makes space in the marrow for the stem cells to grow, and the cells are then infused back into the patient. And the kids are all cured.

MF transplant update - discharged from BMT unit and back home
The pre-transplant checks went well and commenced conditioning with fludarabine,
busulfan
and rATG, while sharing a room with another patient who was soon to be discharged. His discharge did not last long and he returned. Turned out that he contracted influenza in his brief time away.
