Real world experience with Besremi in ET and PV following exposure to Pegasys.
Abstract Despite widespread use of Pegylated forms of Inteferon in the management of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN), most clinicians have experience predominantly with peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys). Third generation pegylated IFNα, ropeginterferon alfa-2b (ropegIFN; Besremi), was recommended

Christmas Chuckle
Holiday time is for feasting; We look forward to each treat. The tables are full of our favorite foods; We’ve got lots of good things to eat. We scarf marshmallowed sweet potatoes; There’s cider and eggnog to slurp. There’s so much going down at once, Who can help an occasional burp? Here’

Keeping Interferon refrigerated
Hi, I've recently started taking Peginterferon alfa-2a, and I keep it in my fridge because that's what the instructions say. I'm going to visit my girlfriend in Scotland a week tomorrow. My journey is going to take two days, so I'll leave home on Saturday morning, stay in a hotel halfway on Saturday

Interferons as the First Choice of Cytoreduction in ET and PV
»Interferons are a group of cytokines with immunomodulatory properties and were the first immune therapies used in the treatment of cancers, including hematologic malignancies. Use of standard interferon alfa-2b for MPN treatment has been limited by its difficulty in administration and adverse effect

Peg injections - two in one day
Hi all, I’m on peginterferon Alfa-2a for ET and a few weeks ago my dose was increased to 180mg. The hospital pharmacy deliver my medication and I can only assume they’ve ran out of 180mg syringes as I’ve been sent about 8 boxes of 90mg pre filled syringes meaning I’m expected to do 2 injections after

Greater Understanding of PV, ET Drives Potential New Treatment Options
“Continued high-impact research may soon foster the development of disease-modifying therapies for PV and ET and satisfy this need for the optimal management of patients with these MPNs,” they said. Researchers are also determining how to best optimize current treatment options, including JAK inhibitors

On bone marrow biopsy (BMB)?
Hello everyone, People with PV/ET regularly (e.g., per month) test their blood to keep track of cell counts and other things. How about bone marrow biopsy (BMB)? Are there repeats of BMB test to check changes after the first one that was performed to detect any mutation like JK2 ? If yes, how the results

Dukoral - Cholera Vaccine
I just took my first dose of Dukoral. I will wait a week to take the second dose. A friend of mine who lives outside of Detroit Michigan went over to Windsor and made the purchase and had no problem crossing the border with it. He declared it as an over the counter diarrhea med. The agent laughed

Only you will get how exciting this is...
Ok, so we are taking our 7 year old away for the night to stay near a hotel near Longleat for a half term treat (in a vague attempt to beat the crowds in the morning). I take the usual deep breath (as am aware that eating out 9 times out of 10 has resulted in some unwanted symptoms reappearing). Plans

What is your OTC Painkiller of choice for Migraine (UK)?
As we know, for some of us nothing really works to take away the pain - after years of trial and error with meds. Been through the spectrum of painkillers. By far I find the most effective to be Alka Seltzer, the effect of the aspirin and effervescence does offer *some* relief. That is, only if it's

Does Pegylated interferon alfa-2a cure ET? Some paper show yes. Is this credible?
I found a paper Quintás-Cardama A, Kantarjian H, Manshouri T, et al. Pegylated interferon alfa-2a yields high rates of hematologic and molecular response in patients with advanced essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera[J]. Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2009, 27(32): 5418-5424. This show the
