What are your thoughts about Interferon Vs. Hydroxurea?
I’ve been reading different studies about this and most of them says Interferon is advisable for younger patients and for pregnancy but current practice is using Hydrea as a first line of defense instead of Interferon? I would love to hear your experience about this. I’m still on a low-dose aspirin

Night Sweats
Hi everyone, I am looking for some feedback on night sweats. 42 years old (live in Ireland), diagnosed with ET in 2017, progressed to MF in 2020. Been having horrendous night sweats since February 2018. Under the care of Haematologist I have tried Jakafi, HU, and Interferon, none of which had any impact

Peg Interferon and flu jab
Hi All, I was offered the flu jab this year and decided I wanted to have it. However, now I’m wondering whether it’s ok to get it with Interferon. The leaflet of Interferon states that live vaccinations should not be given with the medication and I believe the flu vaccine isn’t live? I haven’t had any

Switched from Hydroxyurea to Pegylated Interferon (PEGASYS)
Hi, I'm wanting to hear from people who have changed treatments. I'm especially keen to know what doses you were taking of HU and what doses of PI. I have polycythemia vera with JAK2 variant. I was diagnosed sometime ago. Maybe 7 years. Have had various treatments including venesection, interferon alpha
