New User Name (EPguy) and MPN as a Continuum
I'm starting my Besremi journey as in a recent post. I realize that my user name may have been a distraction, since quite reasonably it suggested I have a Dx of ET. In fact my Dx is PV, by both my first Hem and my present MPN specialist. I do have some features of each as I've discussed before.

Night sweat relief?
I am new to CLL having been diagnosed in Jan. 2022. I had no symptoms until recently experiencing night sweats. I am wondering if there is any treatment for this and also wonder if it means my condition is advancing quickly. I have an appt with the hematologist/ oncologist in May. He said I am on a watch

What does curing CLL mean?
This is a question I often wonder about but have never asked my doctor. When we hear about a cure for CLL what we really mean is a way to live with it, correct? The existing treatments and treatments on the horizon won't necessarily eliminate CLL altogether or the associated risks of secondary cancers

"Sailing with CLL" - a sense of humor may help....
"Aboard" and "Port" are two terms which I heard in past days during my medical care: Routinly I am asked by the Cancer Clinic lab technician: "Do you have a port?" I do not. But at this moment I smile and I am tempted to say: "Yes, my port is Santo Domingo!" and I sense a bit euphoria: When I retired

Study shows more Driver Mutations in General Population
The Denmark study used super sensitive tests.. MPNs may be far more common than current info suggets. The image here shows 3% have a Jak2 mutation even as most of these have no MPN Dx. Their cutoff of 1% (orange circle) still includes way more than MPN with Dx (grey circle) Highlights: Their point

Did anyone have MGUS progress into CLL, and after treatment for CLL, did your MGUS improve or no longer exist?
Hi I'm new to the CLL community. My name is Vicki. I was diagnosed with M.G.U.S. (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance) 15 years ago. It is an abnormal protein (M protein) in the blood and a precancerous condition to Multiple Myeloma, Lymphoma, CLL etc. I was diagnosed in October 2021

To continue or not....that is the question
I started treatment in July 2021 after 18 months on W&W. Initially I was treated with Obinutuzumab but I had a severe reaction to the first 20mg and ended up in the A&E resuscitation ward. I was then swopped to Rituximab and Venetoclax, which was explained as normally being a second line treatment which

CAR-T, why it's not ready for MPNs
Today's CNN has an article about CAR-T being curative for leukemia CLL. So I checked it out a bit further. http://www.mpnresearchfoundation.org/news/what-does-the-approval-of-kymriah-mean-for-mpn-patients/ As I understand it CAR-T looks at the antigens on the surface of the cells, and cannot see inside

Information on Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
After PV for many years , Myelofibrosis for two years , I now have AML. On Ruxolitinib and EPO injections I’m having panic attacks, it seems no treatment is available apart from transfusions. Is anybody else in a similar situation, and how are you managing.

I Have Just Completed My 12 Month CLL Treatment Plan
About 13 months ago, my dentist commented on swollen lymph nodes along my neck and that suggested I have my primary care physician look at them next time I saw her. I did. She referred me to UT Health/MD Anderson, which confirmed that I have CLL. I was placed on Obinutuzumab/Venclexta therapy for
