Hi! Did anyone who has been treated with Interferon for PV or MF and got their allele burden down see any reduction in splenomegaly? And if so, to what extent?

I have been on Pegasys since Aug 2021. My jak2 has dropped from 88% down to 32% and my spleen Has gone from 14.5 cm long to 12.2 cm long. I started at 90 mcg per week and slowly moved down to 45 mcg every three weeks. I feel very fortunate that Pegasys works for me with no bad side effects.
