@loribmt, @patty1962 I am waiting for sponsor approval for either of these clinical trials at MD Anderson. I don’t know how long I am expected to wait-I was evaluated mid-March. I am holding off on starting methotrexate for arthritis and other aches and pains. I think since it is an immunosuppressant (and also used as a treatment for cancer at higher doses) methotrexate may disqualify me from participating in a clinical trial. I’ve been waiting about 2 weeks for a definitive answer from the research team regarding this. If not accepted, I will probably start on Jakafi, and the methotrexate.
