As recent discoveries have the potential to change the paradigm of how MPN and MDS are diagnosed and treated it is imperative that healthcare professionals who treat these diseases are provided expert review of the most pertinent clinical data pertaining to prognosis diagnosis therapy and disease management and guidance for their optimal integration into everyday clinical practice.
The US Focus on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and Myelodysplastic Syndromes 2015 provides a platform to resolve many of the clinical challenges for diagnosis and treatment through presentations and interactive discussions of the latest clinical and research findings pertaining to MPN and MDS. Topics that will be deliberated include updates in therapeutic interventions of MDS polycythemia vera essential thrombocytopenia and myelofibrosis.
In this presentation Dr. Elizabeth Hexner discusses "masked" polycythemia vera and polycythemia vera "in evolution".

I was just diagnosed with Polycythemia, with leukocytosis and thrombocytosis. I think I’ve had it for years. It’s been like pulling teeth to get a diagnosis. Always made to feel like a hypochondriac. My symptoms are so bad it has ground my life down to a halt. I’m a very curious person though and will be proactive about understanding this disease. Strange side note. My dad had leukemia when I was born. He died of Hodgkin disease and lung cancer at 40. His dad died from stomach cancer at 40

How are you doing with the Polycythemia?
I've just been to the hemithalogist after countless other doctors and she thinks I got Polycythemia because of my lab results.
Had blood samples taken and will have to get my bone marrow checked.
Funny thing, my Dad died of Leukemia about a year ago- and I donated bone marrow to him!
Now I'm waiting curiously if I'm so "lucky" to have gone from Bone marrow donor to blood cancer patient in Just over a year...
Guess life is what happens to you while your making other plans!

The fatigue is the worst symptom. Headache is constant. Currently being treated with low dose aspirin and phlebotomy. Diagnosed first in 2003, but it was ignored. Diagnosed again in 2014 with a very high hematocrit.

The Jak2 gene controls the number of blood cells produced and survival. This genotype, rs12340895(G;G), is
associated with a 2-4 fold increased risk for cancers of the blood such as leukemia. www.snpedia.com/index.php/rs12340895 This increased risk may
be due to abnormal (damaged hematopoietic stem cells) that go on to form cancer stem cells.
The body can clear damaged stem cells, however, through a process known as autophagy.
Resveratrol has been shown to increase the clearance of damaged hematopoietic
stem cells, which may be particularly important for this genotype.
Resveratrol selectively induces apoptosis in malignant
cells with the JAK2V617F mutation by inhibiting the
JAK2 pathway

I am on 500mg of hydroxyurea. Yet I am constantly constipated, feel bloated, constant high blood pressure and an enlarged spleen. It seems that Hydroxyurea is not helping me?

I have a friend that was diagnosed with this disease 😥

Anything to placate the unbearable itching after a shower? For me it can go on for a couple of hours before it subsides

[@susanwesterby9672]

Some says it is easier to first warm up the body in a sauna and then go to the shower.

Anyone had severe hair loss?

[@NileshKumar-Dl1wli]

Me too

[@rajmeera113raj3]

Me

[@hoangnam3409]

I also have hair loss, perhaps because the blood is not enough to nourish the hair follicles due to thickened blood. Wish you health
