Hi I have et and am on interferon a. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a right breast Mastectomy and a week later had a tia which is
thought to be caused by my blood becoming sticky during op, cancer was found in the sentel node that was removed but I can't have another op due to it being considered to risky and the only option is radiotherapy but I'm worried how this will react with my medication and about having radiotheapy. has

Is anyone with PV on interferon?
Because I am relatively young, my consultant has advised me to change to
interferon
alpha within the next couple of weeks. Can anyone advise me regarding
interferon
?

ET & interferon
My partner has ET & it's being discussed by the docs that his treatment needs to be changed to
interferon
. Yet there seems a delay - we get the impression this is due to funding issues. Any ideas or has anyone experienced similar barriers. Many thanks

After diagnoses of PV/ET, how long did it take for blood counts to stabilize?
Diagnosed around 11 months ago, currently on daily Aspirin and
Interferon
Alpha 4 times a week. My consultant has confirmed my counts are slow to stabilize but they were going in the correct direction.

Interferon

Does Anyone Know Where in the Body Interferon Reduces the Platelet Count?
Because
interferon
, hydroxycarbamide etc. aren't cures, I think the bone marrow makes as many platelets as ever, but somewhere before blood is taken out and tested for the platelet count the platelets have been reduced in number.

Does anyone know where in the body interferon reduces the platelet count?
Because
interferon
, hydroxycarbamide, anagrelide et. aren't cures, I think the bone marrow makes just as many platelets as ever, but by the time the blood is extracted and tested the platelet count is reduced to show a normal amount.

Anagrelide and interferon?
I was wondering if anyone has been prescribed anagrelide and intereron at the same time? I started on Pegasys fairly recently but it isn't controlling my platelets on its own and so I have been taking hydroxycarbamide as well. This was a short term measure because I don't get on very well with the HU

How severe is your bone pain in E T & is this made worse or better with treatment ?
Then tried Pegysy's
interferon
, did not agree with me either, am currently deciding on next treatment, but my question is........ Since starting & stopping therapies I have experienced almost total body pain in my bones!! I feel like I have been kicked by a horse, for one of a better term.

Treatment Finished and on the mend!!!!!
I have never had any bad side effects from either the Ribavirin or the
Interferon
. I think I was pretty lucky on that part. It will be a while before I am back to the old me.
