Interesting transcript interview with Dr Silver
He is very pro early Interferon if you don’t get that from interview! In other Presentations, he has said he expects a progression stopping drug will be discovered within 5 years. Outright cure will take longer. https://mpnforum.com/dr-richard-t-silver-the-long-view/

Am I nuts? Hoping to find a cure....
Hello All, I've followed many of the posts on this site for a few months now, but I've been somewhat reluctant to participate. Some of this reluctance comes from dealing with the emotions of so many men and their families being effected by this insidious cancer and my own situation. Some of my reluctance

Video re progression
Interferon appears only drug that might slow progression but some people can have severe side effects. Ropeginterferon, which hopefully will be available next year, is better tolerated and (I thought) more efficacious. They say the focus is on finding better drugs for MF rather than slowing progression

Interferon injection sites
Could anybody advise where I am able to inject my Interferon? I am currently doing it into my stomach but I am injecting every other day at present and my skin looks a little red despite rotating sites? Can I give it in my thighs or anywhere else there is some skin? I have tried asking a haematologist

Links to latest research
I thought it would be easier if I grouped all the links I’ve posted into one thread. Imo it’s all encouraging and uplifting. I’ve run out of time to find the link re Graft Host rejection advances, will do so later. Best Paul (Hope all the links open!) Replacing Chemo/Radiation in SCT’s https://med.stanford.edu

Hi I'm just new here, I've been diagnosed with ET nearly 12 months ago. I was 47 when first diagnosed now 48. I was put on interferon 3 times a week then increased to daily but didn't respond to it and then side effects were not good. I've just swapped to Hydrea 2 a day and I'm going ok but very tired

A very confused update
Hi all I posted on here recently regarding starting medication and Interferon in particular for my PV. Just to recap, I went for my usual 3 monthly clinic in January and my usual consultant was on long term sick, so I saw her replacement who said she thought I should be on medication, which very much

Hi everyone,
Hi everyone, great to find this supportive and informative forum! I'm starting Maviret in 2 weeks time. Could be up to 16 weeks as I have type 3a and have had treatment before. (Although I'm hoping for the 8 treatment). I'm waiting to find out if I'll be taking riberveron too. I've had the virus for

Hospital appointment
Just after some advice went to my follow up haematology appointment today and my platelets were 519, 3 weeks ago they were 552. At diagnosis of PV in December they were over 1000. I am currently on interferon Alpha and have no problems with this. However my haematologist this morning was very negative

Update
Diagnosed some 4 years ago. HCT was 0.612 Platelets 1162, regular venesection, Hydro, aspirin, all came down ok.. About three or 4 months ago, migrating to interferon, reduction in hydro from 5x1000mg plus 2x 500mg a week, HCT went up slightly, so venesection x 3, another last week... So at the moment

Overactive Bladder - Tolterodine stories?
Hi! I have always been that person who is constantly needing a wee break. I have spoken to my doctors about it before, but its really starting to get in the way of my sleep, needing to get up at least 4 times in the night. They prescribed my Tolterodine Tartrate today and I'd like some opinions? I have

Melanoma Recurrence after 10 Years
Hi everyone, my name is Corey, I'm 31, and have recently found a recurrence of melanoma after almost 10 years NED. In 2008, I had a WLE of a mole removed from my left calf, as well as SLN (which tested positive) and 20 lymph nodes (not positive). I was stage IIIA at this point, and completed the year

First dose of Interferon
Well, last night I had my first injection of Interferon Roferon A, which was interesting. I took it about 6pm and within an hour was very achey, which led to what can best be described asfull on flu/fever/nausea by 10pm. I took some paracetamol and by the early hours started to feel better. Today I feel

Interferon v Peginteferon
If one chooses to go this route, which drug is most likely to be prescribed in the UK. I assume INF weekly doses but possibly greater side effects? Peg can be taken every two weeks and meant to better tolerated? Thanks

Interferon alpha frequency
I have been on interferon for about 6 months. Now down to two a week. Finding fatigue day after injection becoming much much worse. I know some people at Liverpool have a weekly injection. At what stage was that started. My behcet is under better control although still got eye problems😕

When to start medication?
Hi all I had a clinic appointment last week and when I got to the hospital, discovered that my usual haem was unfortunately on leave for 6 months. They’d therefore drafted a replacement in whom I saw, who immediately recommended I go on hydroxy or Interferon. Now, my usual haem has seen me for 4 years
