Dear crsimon5,
Yes, hearing the “C” word is frightening, but mf is easier to deal with than most others.
I was diagnosed with mf two years ago, went on Hydroxyurea daily, experience few problems other than fatigue, probably because I’m 84 as well. My life is full, and I enjoy the same activities as before the diagnosis: walking, traveling, gathering with friends and family. Don’t let the cancer define you; fill your life with things you enjoy, be positive, and take one day at a time.
Use this website to stay informed and see that you are not alone in this. New friends who have had the same diagnosis can walk with you.
If you are part of a faith community, you’ll find real help there, too.
You are 30 years younger than I am so you still have lots to look forward to.
I’ll be praying for you.
Dunewalker 🤗🙏🏽
