Discovery of a signaling feedback circuit that defines interferon responses in MPN
« Interferons (IFNs) are key initiators and effectors of the immune response against malignant cells and also directly inhibit tumor growth. IFNα is highly effective in the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), but the mechanisms of action are unclear and it remains unknown why some patients

Liver Issues on Inf (Peg) (apologies for long post)
So spoke with my MPN specialist last night about my recent CBC results. The good news is that the 90mcg of Peg (bi-weekly) appears to be doing a good job keeping my blood chemistry in check. Platelets continue their slow downward trend (most recent reading at 574 coming most recently from 725, 643, 595

A bit of drama on Besremi
(there's a sort of survey question near the end) I've been on it for 3 months now. From starting dose of 50mcg for HU transition my dose last week was ~110. -That evening I had high sensitivity to light, looking at the overhead kitchen light was nearly like looking at the sun. Even the white sink

Lower dose versus lower frequency of Peg Interferon
On the Facebook MPN Interferon forum today, a member posted that he had been on Peg Interferon 45 every two weeks for two years but was having some problems, so was considering taking a break from it. I replied that, if the Peg was actually working for him, then maybe he should consider a lower dose,

Meralgia paraesthetica?
Hi my GP thinks I have this and I am waiting results of an MRI. Does anyone else on interferon also suffer with this? Mine only comes on when I’m out walking and I didn’t have it before I started on interferon. My right leg goes numb in the upper thigh area and I lose sensation. I would be interested

Change of clinic
I had a telephone appointment with my haematologist on Monday but instead it was with a nurse led clinic. I have apparently been handed over to this clinic. I was not told this was happening nor was it discussed at my last haematology appointment. Has this happened to anyone else? It has quite upset

Immune System..
Came across with a good article on Boosting your immune system… 4 ways to strengthen your body’s natural defenses By Stephen Kopecky, M.D. In early 2020, life as most of the world knew it came to a screeching halt. That’s when a previously unknown virus began spreading like wildfire, forcing businesses

Besremi
I see a lot of references to Besremi. Is Besremi also an interferon medication? In Australia we only have access to hydroxyurea or Pegasys.

Suggestions to help manage fatigue
Hi everyone, I've not posted much before but after an appointment with my consultant today I'm feeling rather deflated and a wee bit lost. I was diagnosed with ET (Jak 2) 3 years ago after a spell of being very unwell with what they eventually found to be Budd Chiari Syndrome (blood clots in the liver

Fed up
Interferon not bringing platelets down, 135mcg, haemo does not believe that it will on its own. Adding 500mg of HU to see if that will help, urgh not happy but do have to admit after 11 months she has a point. Wasn't happy on that before.

Platelets up to 1500 since starting PEG interferon
Hello all, I hope you keeping well. I’m feeling pretty deflated, looking for some advice based on the huge amount of knowledge and experience on this forum. Had a call from haematology reg last night to say the bloods I had taken that day were abnormal- platelets up to 1500. I started on PEG interferon

Hi New to this but thought I would say hi and thank you to MPN voice for all that they are doing 😊. I was diagnosed with MF in 2007 aged 43 following a routine blood test which revealed high platelets and then followed by a bmt which revealed scarring on the bone marrow . Treated initially with hydroxycarbamide

CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for B-ALL achieved remarkable efficacy with a complete remission of 70–90%
This looks interesting but way over my knowledge base. Perhaps some of you super brains can figure this out. In recent years, the increasing advancements and applications of cellular immunotherapy have enabled the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, and it has emerged as an efficacious

BESREMi 4th dose
Hey, guys! I see other members are sharing their move to BESREMi, so I thought I'd add my experience. As background, I was diagnosed with polycythemia vera 8/2017 (at age 31) but waited until my kiddo was born to start treatment beyond daily aspirin. I'm JAK2+, TET2+, ASXL1+, AB at 55% in 2018. Since

Taking interferon 0.5ml/week since last mid August, I had blood test recently and found Hepatitis A Ab positive. other issues associated with taking interferon include low WBC(2.6 vs. 3.4), low Neutrophils (1.0 vs. 1.4) and high AST (45 vs. 40), ALT(58 vs. 44). I called my specialist and he told me should
