Living with an MPN

 Hi my name is Janet, I am 65 years old and I've recently been diagnosed with Primary Myelofibrosis. It Is the rarest of the 3 MPNs. As with a lot of sufferers my diagnosis was discovered after tests for an enlarged spleen. I am not having any treatment at the moment as I don't have any major symptoms. I think that mentally that is the worse thing about this disease as it brings it home that it is incurable. To be diagnosed with MF and walk out of the consultants office without any treatment is hard to get your head around.

 

Anyway I would love to chat with anyone with MF. 

  • Hi Janet,

    Welcome to the forum, I hope you manage to find the support you're looking for. Have you come across the Search Forum button? This may seem like a daft question but I'd been using the forum for ages before I discovered it! It is on the Blue Banner next to Post to Forum - if you search for MPN you might get lucky and find someone with some specialist knowledge.

     

    Best wishes
