Cure ? Since when is there a cure for this 🤔

HU is the least expensive of all the medications prescribed for MPNs. It is not to be handled as it is a toxic chemical; therefore, I would not choose to take it. It also precludes being in sunshine as it has a propensity to cause skin cancer...
Interferons are more expensive; but can provide remission and cure an MPN. It depends on your insurance.
There have been some great responses on how to get help covering the costs.
