Good news on mutant allele reduction on Jakafi.
Hopetohelp's post about mutant allele % prompted me to share some good news. I was diagnosed with PV and JAK2 V617F in July 2021 after a heart attack caused by a blocked artery. At that point my mutant allele frequency was 60%. I started on hydroxyurea, but as it did nothing to relieve my severe itching

Mylo Fibrosis, et al
Hello. I'm new to this community and frankly new to social networking on health. My abbreviated story is that I transitioned to Mylo Fibrosis (MF) a few years ago, after dealing with Polycythemia Vera (PV) for 25+ years (I'm 66 years old). The PV regimen was inclusive of Phlebotomies, meds such as Agrilyn

Besremi, Pegasys and Jakafi adverse event question?
As said before, my brother started Besremi recently. And since then I am doing some researches about the safety of drugs for PV and other MPN. To ease my anxious, I guess, my brother sent me a slide seems from Pharmaessential (the mfg of Besremi), as above. The title of the slide is "Besremi is far

Jakafi and constipation
Hi all...reaching out to those of you a on Jakafi and are experiencing constipation. I'm actually doing really well on it so far, but the constipation is awful! I've eliminated most refined products from my diet, exercise regularly, drink tons of water and have purchased OTC products to help

Changing meds
My insurance recently denied paying for Besremi, which was working very well for me except for some problems with my eyes. Today I got my patient education for Jakafi. I’m overwhelmed right now. How is everyone doing on Jakafi?

Medication choices after hydroxyurea
I've posted before about the challenges associated with HU and my own efforts to keep my sensitive digestive tract happy over the last 2 plus years. Unfortunately, this past week was a bit challenging with every possible bad digestive tract issue presenting itself. I'm on the mend but have to accept

Besremi
I keep thinking of additional questions to ask here in addition to my previous posts about Jakafi.When my oncologist suggested that I start this drug after trying to take HU, I suggested Besremi? He said he can't get it although he's tried several places? I'm confused? Is it not offered in

Shocking Price of Jakafi
So I am in the USA. I have ET diagnosed in 2018. Have taken Hydroxyurea since then. I have been having lots of side effects from Hydrea, so my Dr. suggested a possible change to Jakafi. When I called my mail order pharmacy to price it, I was told that for a 90 day supply it would be $20,857, of which

Jakafi and H/H PCV
Hi Everyone, Hi Everyone, I was on Jakafi for about 5 weeks. Labs were fine 2 weeks in and then 2 weeks later Hct/hemoglobin dropped to 36 and 12. I usually run 40-42 and 13-14. Was feeling exhausted and nauseous. Saw my MPN specialist and went off Jakafi as I just couldn’t function with this
