Living With MPNs day.

[MFBMT2011]

Anyone heading to the MPNVoice Living With MPNs day in London on 5th November?

 It’s nice to meet and say hello, putting a face to a username. However, as most of us are shielded by those usernames it can be difficult. Several years ago I arranged for a bunch of MFers to meet by saying we should all carry something red, and arrived carrying an appropriate red plastic folder. Without connecting the significance I also put on a red and white hooped shirt. 

The red items worked and several people met up. However, late in the day a lady marched up to me and said ‘are you Chris Harper’ to which I replied ‘yes’. ‘Well if you had said you were going to wear a Where’s Wally shirt I would have found you a lot earlier!’ That was me told!

We’re still friends, and Celia is recovering from her SCT undertaken at Addenbrooks this year. 

I will be going this year and will be happy to say hello to anyone. No plans to meet up but nice to know who is going. Not sure about the Where’s Wally shirt but will be in the Myelofibrosis group if anyone wants to say hello or chat about SCT.

Hi Chris! that is a good suggestion. I will be at the conference but attending the PV group. I remember from the last conference (seems like eons ago in pre-covid days) that lunch/tea breaks are a good time for chatting with other patients and the colour-coding could be a good system. Actually, I think I met you last time... 😆

Excellent. We’ll work something out nearer the time. Chris
