What Is After Jakavi In Myelofibrosis???
MF, Potential Jakafi Failure. Dr Suggesting Inrebic But I'm Nervous About That Drug, It Sounds Harsh. I'm Trying To Understand My Disease.
Overt Myelofibrosis, grade 2 fibrosis with 30% cellularity, and splenomegaly 21cm. CALR1+, with ASXL1, and TET2 mutations. Blasts only at 2% which is good but that's an increase nonetheless.

What Are People Paying For Jakafi
I am on Medicare and Medicare Drug Plan, using AARP, I was just thinking about going to Jakafi and the price I am being quoted is around 2900.00 per month for 10Mg twice a day.

Does Anyone Here Has Grade 2 Myelofibrosis???
Hi Everyone! Is There Anyone With PV Taking Jakafi? I Wanted To Know About Side Effects. Appreciate Your Feedback About Taking Jakafi.
I had shortness of breath and extreme weight gain due to bloating. I'm off of it now.
Enlarged Spleen Treatment?
I had a spleen ultrasound done today. I’ve been having symptoms. They said it measures14.4by14.1by8.1cm. Enlarged. Has anyone had this and what’s the treatment? I have ET since 2013.
Thanks will do!
ET Specialists / Care In Scotland.
Hi, I’ve recently been diagnosed with ET and the Jak 2 mutation and platelet count around 600, I’m 61 with no symptoms so far, so this has been a massive shock.
I’m taking aspirin but reluctant to start taking Hydera which will be recommended at my next appointment at the end of the month.
Is anyone else here from Scotland? What had your care been like are there any real specialists anyone has seen ???
I do not have an answer but I am experiencing the exact same thing…I’m female 65 and never sick…I am overwhelmed with this news.
Can Anyone Share How They Responded To Interferon Or Other Treatments To Lower Their Platelets?
I have ET, Cal Axion 9 Mutation (Calr). I have been on HU for over a year, my platelets have reached 1.5 million. (They have been at 1 million for over a year.) I am wondering about side effects. Thanks in advance!
From what I understand also, $3300 is the maximum out of pocket in 2024 and in 2025 it will,be $2000.
