@lynnebgraham I gather that, despite more research on MPNs in the last 15 years, a lot of info is not drifting down to clinicians very fast. My new GP, who is in her late 30s, said that she had never heard of the CALR mutation. "It's not in the textbooks." Then they're on to something they actually *do* know about. She was all over my hearing problems.

I'm all for not rushing medical trips. The days when I could hit the road at 5 a.m. and make sense to anyone three hours later are long gone.

@nohrt4me
I feel you not a morning person . I have had hearing damage for years but it is worse . Also I have some brain fog which bothers my Husband more than me.
Have a wonderful Turkey Day

@nohrt4me Hi, all went well with my trip down to Hobart, for my second mammogram and ultrasound, so glad it was a good result. Wish they had the 3d mammogram up in Launceston, would have found out then it was okay. Only have one in the state. So thats over with, phew, now for the thyroid surgeon on 1st. Hope you are well.
