Itching!
If anyone can please help? I've had aquagenic pruritis badly in the past but the wonder drug ruxulitinib stopped it completely. Such a relief. That was 5 yrs ago and it has returned with a vengeance. My hydroxycarbamide was stopped in February ( after 11 years use) even if I brush my skin now the itch

Momelotinib for Myelofibrosis
Hi, I have been suffering from primary MF for 9 years and have been on Ruxolitinib. However recently I was advised that Ruxolitinib is no longer effectively managing my MF. My platelets and Hb are low and my spleen has enlarged again. My consultant is trying to get me approved for Momelotinib. She

Still on hold for stem cell transplant
David has now completed 3 cycles of Vidaza. He had a bone marrow biopsy several weeks ago. At first we thought the results were good, that his cancer cells had been reduced sufficiently to proceed with transplant. After our local oncologist spoke to the transplant specialist at Mayo, we received word

Co pay assistance exhausted for Jakafi
My BCBS coverage through my employer was changed at the new year. Someone decided I was too expensive and changed how drugs were covered.

HU and Osteoblasts
Hi Group, I have ET Jak2 + and am 64yrs old My bone mass has been declining faster than I would have expected given my level of activity, genetic history and diet. I have seen some information that HU affects the production of osteoblasts as well. My info is from a quick read of Hydroxyurea Induces

JAK2 Allele Frequency/Burden
I am a 69-year-old female and was diagnosed with polycythemia vera in November 2023. I have been taking hydroxyurea since the middle of November it has helped my numbers and my symptoms. I am seeing a very reputable oncologist/hematologist - there are no MPN specialist in my area. I am JAK-2 positive

GP neglect
Her diagnosis CMML a blood disorder linked to
leukaemia
. They have still caught it early but it could have been a very different outcome. So if you are not happy with your test results or you are having symptoms of anything keep pushing your GP.
