Update 8.1.5 - Month out from vensection
CBC results from today show a sustained response from the
venesection
I had done on March 26. HCT = 43.3% LYMPH=1.17 and NEUT=0.59 are still a bit low but in the acceptable range. It seems that my best plan is top stay at 175mcg Besremi with a
venesection
about every 12 months.

hydroxy/ interferon treatment questions
I understand that as (currently) incurable disorders PV and ET require long term management via
venesection
, anti-platelet and cytoreductive drugs.

Venesection issues, looking for some advice, please.
I’m small, so Consultant Haematologist says I shouldn't need a
venesection
too often. I’m given a “squeeze ball” each time.

Interferon with PV JAK2/DNMT3A
❣️ Next step, see if higher dose is having any effect by end July, have another
venesection
if needed (I have PV with high platelets too) and maybe add hydroxy to the mix for a while. ❣️ Otherwise change of drug altogether. Under Guys.

Update 8.1 - post venesection
I followed up on my planned
venesection
on March 26. I had a CBC done today. the results look good. HCT=42.1%, down from 47.3%. The next planned CBC is April 26. We will see how things look then. NEUT came back up a bit, now at 1.30. So low, but acceptable level of neutropenia.

Oedema in legs and feet
he has Iron Overload which will soon be managed by
venesection
. The specialist nurses don’t seem to have any solution for managing oedema in someone who can’t take diuretics. His disease in itself tends to limit movement and this swelling has made things worse.

just started Pegasus
I had
venesection
few times and subsequent blood tests were done too. About a month back specialist recommended me to take Pegasus 45 microgram/.5 mL each for two weeks and change to 90 microgram/.5mL for every two weeks. I have now taken the first 90microgram dosage for the first time.
