Thank you Lori for what you do as a volunteer!!
None of my doctors have discussed BMT ! I have read much information about the process and potential benefits!! Indirectly, I am under impression that I am not a good candidate! First , my age ! Huge spleen, enlarged liver ! And other serious issues like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure! I am praying for 8 more years to see my grand sons grow up !! Have next oncology appointment in few days ! Going to YALE FOR FORTH BMB to confirm MYELOFIBROSIS!
Already saw MPN PV AND MF SPECIALIST AT YALE !
Thank you again !! Stay well

Good morning, @hanya. Thank you for such a sweet reply. Having gone through and survived my own blood cancer odyssey gave me the opportunity to pay it forward. As with so many other members here, we’ve ’walked the walk’ and in the unique position of being able to offer support and hope where we can. ☺️
It sounds like you have a great team of doctors at Yale. Having a specialist in MPN/MF is a huge advantage so that you get the right diagnosis and treatment. They’ll do their utmost in keeping you healthy so you can watch your grandsons grow up! What a special incentive for you to keep moving forward and staying positive! Our attitudes can make an enormous difference in how we cope with the challenges tossed at us.
Wishing you only good news on your upcoming BMB! ☺️
Please let me know how everything goes! I didn’t ask before, but have you been on any treatments for your PV?
