@eferret. You state an allele burden decrease, are you repeating the diagnostic JAK2 blood test? My oncologist was reluctant to repeat that in order to track the JAK2 percentage but I got a second one done recently. There seems to be no code for this test when done for tracking, only diagnosing.

My hematologist has me do the JAK 2 twice a year. I will be doing it in May and November. I am hoping that there is a correlation between having a lower hematocrit and a faster reduction in the allele burden. Since changing from injecting in the thigh to injecting in the stomach and a small increase in dosage, my hematocrit went down 4 percent to 40.8.
