I know there is no cure but hope to tolerate this for a very long time with God's help!
Hi David.

Your spleen must have been enlarged, so this is a good sign that you're getting the right treatment.

Did you just start Jakafi to treat the myelofibrosis, or were you already taking it, or taking hydroxyurea (e.g., Hydrea) for the polycythemia vera?
