Hi everybodyI learned today that my ET has progressed to MF. I had a bone marrow biopsy which seems to confirm it, although a spleen scan showed my spleen is completely normal. I'm on Pegasys 135ml at the moment but platelets are 729 (going up) and not well controlled. The consultant suggests moving

CLL and MDS
My husband has had CLL FOR 11 Years. He was recently diagnosed with MDS Leukemia also. Have any of you taken Rebuzil shots to promote growth of red blood cells in the bone marrow? it was approved by FDA in August of ‘23… What side effects, if any , did you have? How long did it take to work for you

Palbociclib for MF reducing fibrosis and more
I found this subject inspired by a dead post in the Sjogren's forum. "The drug, palbociclib, may be able to prevent the scarring of bone marrow that existing treatments (Rux etc) for myelofibrosis cannot." https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-08-discovery-potential-treatment-deadly-blood.html and active

US Senator Joe Lieberman died from MF
Just read this in Wall St Journal. Reproduced below from: https://www.yale64.org/remembrances/lieberman.htm since the WSJ version is in a paywall. -- His son calls the prior condition old fashioned MPD. I assume it was PV, suggests his Dr may have been likewise old fashioned and maybe he didn't

Ivermectin may help with cancer treatments
Studies of various chronic myeloid leukemia cell lines show that ivermectin kills these lines by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and the production of free radicals. In mice with leukemia, ivermectin increases the influx of chloride ions in the cells, promoting cell death. When ivermectin is combined

2nd generation Jak-i's, what's up?
I posted last year on a 2nd gen Jak inhibitor. This is different from the various recently approved ones for MF (Vonjo etc) that are more related to Gen 1 Jak-i's. The concept is Gen 2 catches Jak2 while it's sleeping while Gen 1s are limited to acting on the awake (active) config of Jak2. This was

Itching!
If anyone can please help? I've had aquagenic pruritis badly in the past but the wonder drug ruxulitinib stopped it completely. Such a relief. That was 5 yrs ago and it has returned with a vengeance. My hydroxycarbamide was stopped in February ( after 11 years use) even if I brush my skin now the itch

Momelotinib for Myelofibrosis
Hi, I have been suffering from primary MF for 9 years and have been on Ruxolitinib. However recently I was advised that Ruxolitinib is no longer effectively managing my MF. My platelets and Hb are low and my spleen has enlarged again. My consultant is trying to get me approved for Momelotinib. She

Still on hold for stem cell transplant
David has now completed 3 cycles of Vidaza. He had a bone marrow biopsy several weeks ago. At first we thought the results were good, that his cancer cells had been reduced sufficiently to proceed with transplant. After our local oncologist spoke to the transplant specialist at Mayo, we received word

Besremi and Rux Combined
I was diagnosed with PV in 2021 and on Hydroxy for about a year. Then in December 2022 was switched to Besremi. I've been on Bes for a little over a year and gradually increased dosage to current 300 mcg. My platelets and HCT kept rising until my last blood work when finally the platelets and HCT

Itching in Myelofibrosis
I'm currently taking Fedratinib and Danazol and am having 6 weekly blood transfusions. In the last few months I've noticed increased itching. Last night I woke at 2.30am and the itching made it impossible for me to lie still and go back to sleep. I am on 10mg of Cetirizine Hydrochloride daily and though

Co pay assistance exhausted for Jakafi
My BCBS coverage through my employer was changed at the new year. Someone decided I was too expensive and changed how drugs were covered.
