@gingerw Well got through the first 3 weeks on the dose titration; I guess fortunately on a fairly low dose compared with those with MF. My fatigue was really bad for the first week+, but kept pushing for longer walks with my dogs - was up to over 2 1/2 miles over the weekend (prior to treatment was typically 5 - 6 miles).
Had my first 3 week dose yesterday, so entire day spent in the infusion center (only a 6 hour observation). Really affect fatigue, but not a bad as the 3 weeks in a row. I got in about 2 miles this morning. But still not sure about getting season pass to ski - but that might be my best motivation!!!!
I'm optimistic about this product as I communicated with another with ET at a similar (slightly higher) dose that at 6 months is showing no allele burden. So maybe there is finally a cure on the horizon with CALR ET.

Hi @drbart86,
Thank you for your report about what is going on with your CALR mutation as I have that too. It will be so interesting to see if those participating in the study remain with such good results long term. I remain hopeful for CALR mutation to ultimately have a cure. Please keep us posted about your experiences.
Thank you for being in the studies.
