Hehe I’m no angel…ask my husband!! 😇😂 It sounds like you’ve hit a sweet spot with the Jakafi dosage keeping your blood numbers steady! It can take some trial & error & fine-tuning to find the best dosage for each patient. We’re not ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to medicines and treatments.

The BMB will allow your doctor to check the health of your bone marrow. With MF, the usually spongy marrow becomes scarred and fibrous which can interfere with normal blood cell production. So a sample of the marrow tissue and blood cells directly from the source of the blood manufacturing site can give a clear picture to your doctor. It can also help the doctor determine the extent of any changes.

If the Jakafi has been working fine for you and your numbers are remaining steady then I would think, at least in my experience, that it’s encouraging. I’d put those thoughts of ‘how much time do I have’ out of my head and keep living life like ‘they left the gate open’, because no one knows how much time they have left. Heck, any of us could be hit by a bus…with no warning but a horn.
While there’s life there’s hope. But, just to be safe, look both ways when you cross a street. 😄
