New York Times article on MPNs

Apologies if this has been shared already - a really interesting story in the NYT written by a fellow MPN sufferer. She went through ET to PV and then MF and talks about how the disease being classed as a cancer has really helped fund research. She is currently on a very positive sounding phase two drug combo trial that appears to be reversing the fibrosis. nytimes.com/2021/03/11/well...

A friend saw this and just sent it to me -- she said it helped her understand my situation (ET) much better. Great to see this kind of coverage and thanks for posting it here. Kim

Thank you for sharing this article. It gives me hope for the future of MPN research and helps me provide information for family/friends who are learning about our conditions.

My hematologist says the same thing. The reclassification of MPNs as cancer has opened up the funding for research.
