Switch from Besremi to Jakafi
First five years after diagnosis I was treated with monthly
phlebotomy
and baby aspirin only. 5 yrs of monthly
phlebotomy
took its toll and iron deficiency and high platelets led me to besremi which had just been approved. Started besremi about 2 1/2 years ago.

How did you decide on your treatment?
He did not have me do another
phlebotomy
. 3 months later I started seeing an MPN specialist at one of the leading cancer hospitals. He did not have me go for another
phlebotomy
right away either. About 8 months later they had me try to get another
phlebotomy
.

Adjusting Timing of T3 Before Testing
] T3 Tuesday: 8 am
phlebotomy
In the second scenario, timing of first dose of T3 is flexible, as it is the only T3 taken until midnight.

Pegasus and Low Neutrophils
After a further 4 weeks and a
phlebotomy
end of April my Neutrophils have dropped further. I'm pondering the options. The obvious is to stop taking Pegy and switch to Hydroxy, which I'd rather not. Ruxo is another option which is less common in the UK.

Pegasys & Hydrea
I asked my doctor if we could try a small dose of Hydrea maybe 500 twice a week to see if this will lower my HCT so I can go more than 2 months without a
phlebotomy
.

ET jak2 to PV
MY MPN specialist is recommending a
phlebotomy
every 3 months if my hematocrit number goes above 45. Has anyone progressed from ET to PV? I see that Jak2 occurs in 90% of PV patients. My allele burden is average at 17%. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

Blood Test Rip-off
Whilst the first two companies include
phlebotomy
I can't help thinking that at these prices they are not just taking the blood.

Updated Numbers Based on Recent Appointment
Hi, I'm about 10 months in to starting Besremi and just had a
phlebotomy
. RBC had gotten to 47 after only 2 months from my prior
phlebotomy
, which I wasn't happy about. I keep hoping that will stabilize soon, although it took me a while to ramp up to my current Besremi dose.

Effective Management of Polycythemia Vera With Ropeginterferon Alfa-2b Treatment
This dosing regimen was associated with a rapid achievement of CHR without the need for
phlebotomy
or erythrocyte apheresis. The CHRs were very durable and the levels of CHR were numerically greater than previously reported for the slow-titration dosing schema.

Update 8.0 - Next chapter
Per the previous plan I made with my MPN care team, I will arrange for a therapeutic
phlebotomy
. This will be the first
phlebotomy
since January 2023 and only the second
phlebotomy
since I started on the IFNs in May 2021.

Switch from Besremi to Ruxolitinib
After 2 months, I needed a
phlebotomy
and dose was increased to 150 ug. After another month the HCT continued to increase and I upped the dose to 200 ug - this has been my dose for the last month. My HCT continues to increase and I will have a
phlebotomy
again tomorrow.

Update 8.3
If confirmed, will schedule a
phlebotomy
. [/i] [i]Note that A1c and glucose remain elevated, in the prediabetes range. May not be related to the Besremi but do not think raising the dose would be a good idea at this time. [/i] [i]As always, your input on this plan would be appreciated.

Bloodletting
After
phlebotomy
, there is a thinning effect in the blood, resulting in better microcirculation in the blood vessels and more oxygen in the body. It therefore has a blood-thinning, blood-purifying, decongesting and detoxifying effect.

Diet Advice for ET please
She said I had ET/PV and ordered a
phlebotomy
the following week. I have since been told by my MPN specialist that I only have ET and certainly do not need phlebotomies.

Update 8.2
Since the
phlebotomy
on March 26 my HCT is staying below target. It actually dropped some more this time to 41.4%. LYMPH and NEUT are at acceptable levels though LYMPH is still low. PLTs are staying in the 200s. On the whole, things are looking good.
