life insurance whilst waiting for official diagnosis
hi all, I have recently tested positive to the jak2 mutation… my consultant thinks it may be ET or myelofibrosis . I am having a bone marrow biopsy done to determine which one it is. My question is… is it too late for me to get life insurance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

uMRD 6
I have been living for the one year point on V plus O to get the clonal sequence uMRD6 bone marrow test done so I could decide if I wanted to continue with a Venetaclax. Technically, I consider myself partially treated rather than relapsed or refractory, because I only received three of the six cycles

Travel Insurance
This is the first time I have posted on here although I read it daily. Has anyone experienced the following or can offer any advice regarding it. I was originally diagnosed in May 2021 with ET - CALR and at that time was covered by my partner's travel insurance. In March 2023 my diagnosis was changed

Background
I appreciate the interest in knowing more of my "back story" and my CLL "markers" history. What bothers me is a bias toward the pharmaceutical approach to treating CLL that is characterized as the "best" approach despite failed and incompetent pharmaceutical interventions, highlighted in the incompentently

Ruxolitinib & raised cholesterol
I have been on Ruxolitinib for nearly 9 years now managing my primary myelofibrosis. I have been advised today that I now have a very high cholesterol level of 9.4. We went through my family history and diet but it seems that Rux seems to be the main contributory factor. The sheet does say this is

Antiinflammatory medications with Jakafi
I've read that there is a moderate risk of bleeding after using ibuprofen with Jakafi. I'd appreciate hearing reactions from people on Jakafi who have taken ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications. Which anti-inflammatory medications would minimize the risk of such interactions? Thanks, Steve

Understanding PET Scan Results with CLL
Hello! I was diagnosed with CLL (11Q) in 2013. On Ibrutinib since 2015 and have very thankfully done very well with basically zero problems. CT scans have showed some mild increase in nodes over the last several years. Doctor ordered a PET Scan. I have the results. What would indicated Richter's

Metformin Use and the Risk of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in a Danish Population Based Cohort
I am very curious if any MPNérs are using Metaformin and what effects they are experiencing on their MPN... See: In this study we found an inverse association between MT use and risk of MPNs indicating a potential protective effect of MT on the development of MPNs. The protective effect was most pronounced

Hi all, I haven’t posted in a while. I am after some thoughts on results really.. I am based in the UK. Diagnosed in Oct 2022 after a chance blood test for something else. A familiar story from what I have read. A specialist at the time said I was a bit early for the disease! I’m now nearly 50. I
