I take Jakafi 20 mg 2 x a day. I was told PV was chronic so it doesn’t go away

I have MF. My pallettes have gone down drastically, but my spleen is still big. My Dr. Told me three more months and after he has a new scan he will decide if i should stop the Jakafi . Anybody else out there with normal pallettes and large spleen. How long was your Jakafi treatment.

I’m so excited my platelet count has gone down drastically with Pegasys, I don’t think I would stop! I want to be healthy and possibly go into remission 💕

My platelets went under 300 right after I started Jakafi. But, my shortness of breath and anemia has mandated that i stay on meds. Has anyone taken Fedratib or momelotinib instead of jakafi? Side effects?
