Ruxolitinib and urinary tract infections
I've been on Jakafi for a couple of months and am starting to see indications of a possible bladder infection. I understand that UTIs are a reported side effect of this medication. I found a posting on this topic from a few years ago and was wondering if anyone else has been having this problem.

Stopped using Evusheld
I received this message from UCSF. I believe, soon they will stop using it everywhere else too. In recent weeks, California has seen a rapid increase and dominance in circulation of COVID-19 Omicron subvariants which are resistant to our current monoclonal antibody treatment (bebtelovimab) and prophylaxis

The Gut Microbiota in Patients with Polycythemia Vera is Distinct from that of Healthy Controls and Varies by Treatment
»Recombinant interferon-α2 (IFN) treatment of patients with PV has been shown to be disease-modifying in terms of normalization of elevated blood cell counts in concert with a reduction in the JAK2V617F allelic burden. Therefore, we hypothesized that patients treated with IFN might have a composition

ET accelerated progression
hi. I have had ET since 2004, treated with varying doses of HU and in later years also Peg. Apart from unstable platelets I have been relatively symptom free. Until this year! I have definitely struggled with HU, getting terrible mouth sores. I had a bone marrow biopsy recently which has confirmed

Essential thrombocythemia
When my daughter was 12 years she started to have migraine. At the same time the platels went high, Between 400 -539 for 11 months. Then they fall back to normal.I talked with many doctors about it and they said not to worry about the platels because children have elevated platels all the time. Over

Concise summary of the treatment history of CLL from the 1950s to the present, by Dr Bruce Cheson, contributor to the iwCLL and much more
I knew Chlorambucil use for CLL dated back to the 1950's but I hadn't appreciated that was also the case for cyclophosphamide, (the 'C' in FCR). It took until the early 90's before Fludarabine, the 'F' in FCR joined, then Rituximab (the 'R') just over 20 years ago, started the long reign of FCR as the

Hematocrit question
Currently whenever my Hematocrit is over 44 I get a phlebotomy as I don't want it to get over 45. Two weeks ago it was 43.3 with my RBC at 5.77. Today my Hematocrit is 47.8 (RBC 6.33). To me this was a huge jump in just 2 weeks. I am thinking about changing when I get a phlebotomy to whenever my Hematocrit

Has anyone tried Hydroxychloroquin for CLL?
There are studies showing HCQ causes apoptosis in CLL, lowering the WBC. Did anyone take HCQ for covid and find their WBC dropped?

PCV 20 Guidelines ? Get 20 if you already had 13 and 23 - or not ?
One pharmacist in Florida refused to give PCV 20 "because guidelines say that if you had other previous pneumo vaccinations you do not need PCV 20 !" I got PCV 13 in 2015 and PCV 23 in 2005. My understanding of the literature is that PCV20 is now "updated" and everybody should get it who may get it

Saw my CLL specialist yesterday and he had the results of the IgHV testing he requested. It seems I am unmutated status which isn't great news. At the time of starting treatment, we were in 1st year of pandemic and Acalabrutinib was offered. As he said normally I would have been offered FCR because

My MD Anderson doctor is leaving
I received a letter on Saturday that my oncologist at MD Anderson, Dr. Philip Thompson, is leaving effective January 3, 2023. Nooooooooo!

Can Hydrea Resolve (fix) Marrow?
In a recent thread one report has HU providing a strong benefit to marrow, esp for ET, but some in PV too, discussed here: https://healthunlocked.com/mpnvoice/posts/148588347/high-low-jak2-and-risk-of-mf-progression This is a surprise. So I did a quick search and two further reports come up supporting
