Myleofibrosis
Hi ,
i am new to this forum I am 61 y , and 3 y ago i had a diagnosis for ET ( i had 900K platelets ) . I started with hydrea ( 2 pils /day ) ; 4 months later i got severe pain in my hips ; lowering Hydrea to 1 pil/day solved this ( platelets where then 700K ); later on the platelets decreased ( +-570 K ) and i continued hydrea ( 1 pil in 3 days ) . Till 9 months ago ; my WBC ( before 14K ) were up to 24K ; platelets were 480K ; Hema 10. I stopped taking Hydrea. I did a BM test in may and they found nothing special ( they did 5 different tests on it ) . They asked advice on the best external specialist , and he said its Myleofibrosis. The bloodtest 6 and 3 months ago and now showed the same : WBC 24K , platelets 470K and Hema 10. The doctor told me there where some things in my blood that shouldnt be there ; blasts was 1,5%. At present i have not much symptoms ; faster tired and short of breath sometimes . Does anyone recognize this situation ? Is this MF or something else ? |

Hi Erik,
You know there are several support groups for patients with Myelofibrosis - most patients at this forum have Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
