Results of the BIG 12

Hi Catherine, and thanks for asking. Coming up on one year now with my other "problem" which was introduced into discussions back then. Thankfully still holding stable there without any evil progressions. Have seen more cancer doctors than I care to admit though. Sorry to have neglected ABLCS. I have popped in on a few discussions if my experience is relevant to others. Staying "on topic", my next Cysto is coming up soon, and if good, will put me at the magic 24 month mark of Cancer Free (Bladder that is.) I'm not one to anticipate and worry, just stay positive that there will be a celebration. OK, I'll try to be nice and post afterwards. And include grumbles about no hot sun at the beach. Thanks for the kick.

Catherine, thanks for your interest in MF. I have garnished a tad bit more wisdom from the confusion, and hope to be able to ask some better questions now. Soon I want to consult with the medical team to get a better understanding of the current situation, and of course, the future. I have seen 2 specialists, no problems there, and both seem to be on the same track, and I would say equally well with another other doctor/hospital at this time. I start that medication (Jakafi) tomorrow. Try it for a month, and see if there are improvements in blood or other symptoms. But there is no "cure". Frightening just to look at an $8,000 bottle of pills. I'll try to slip in any news along with a BC report, so as not to be totally off topic.
