Good video re MF

Encouraging discussion of new combo drugs and first mention I’ve seen of BCL-2 inhibitors which sound exciting.

The interviewee says that whilst there is no obvious cure for MF on the horizon, the current strategy is to keep patients alive for say 7 - 8 years by which time next batch of new drugs will be available to give another 7 years. Hence disease can be put on hold indefinitely.

Thanks Paul... :-)

I found this clip most informative, and also providing some inspirational outcomes for alternative combination therapies for MF.

Greatly appreciated

Best wishes

Thank you for this, Paul. It certainly gives us all hope. And I too particularly liked to hear about the ‘normal lifespan’!

Great to know that research continues into MF and the other myleoprolific disorders. There is always hope for all of us and those that follow.☺
