Hopefully we will now grow from strength to strength...

Bonzer there Steve, , Congratulations, , this looks potentially like a giant step forward not only in terms of raising MPN profile there but putting MPN s up there to be taken as seriously as other types of C.

As you will have read in many posts it's hard enough to access a MPN specialist in the UK so I applaud anything that puts it out there and might make a few Haematologists decide to make MPN s their focus. Or even just decide to do some research and raise their game in order to improve their knowledge and be better equipped to help their MPN patients.

Cheers Buddy

Hey Chris... 8-)

Great to hear from you too buddy...

Yes, MPNs are often treated like the poor Leukaemic cousin, and it's almost invisible for many of us having to live w/ an MPN, as well you'd know...

Hopefully, we will succeed... small steps to start, and then just keep trying to raise the bar on MPNs...

It would be awesome to see many more Specialists in MPNs... would it not?

Cheers Chris stay healthy & happy buddy... 8-)

Hey Bluetop... :-)

Thanks for your response & encouragement...

MPN-MATE Research Foundation is now a small but growing group of MPN patients who are all hoping that we can make a small difference in this space to aid in creating better solutions for MPN patients...

Cycling is still coming along nicely, and is still at the centre of our current Fundraiser efforts... We will just keep chipping away at the bigger picture...

Best wishes 8-)

Hey Meatloaf... :-)

Thanks for your response... Hope all is well in your world too...

It really is my pleasure to share whatever I can about MPNs and how we might all better manage our MPN journeys...

That's why FORUMs like this our so very useful and they help provide us all with positive strength and hope by uniting us with a common purpose to overcome by sharing our empathy with & for each other...

Best wishes

Hey Mary... :-)

Thanks so much... It's always a pleasure to try to share what I can...

However, all I really know is that I know so very little of anything at all... But that is why I enjoy seeking out possible answers and sharing the findings... In reality, anything gleaned is just another step along this MPN journey we are all on together...

There are many good people here who do the same Mary, including your self... 8-)

That's why FORUMS like MPN Voice & MATES too... Are so needed & worthwhile to us all...

Cheers Mary... ;-)
