  • Hi again ..... it's an interesting question and let's see what some of the other folks with MF say.

    As you know I have another type of incurable blood cancer and I was on Active Monitoring (Watch and Wait) for just over 14 years before I needed any full on treatment Wink

  • A late response and yes I was on “watch and wait”, for almost three years, asymptomatic. But my spleen and liver is enlarging and doc prescribed Ruxolitinib. To date I have not began taking. Yesterday test results showed “blasts” of 4% and hgb 9 so it looks like my wait is over and the next stage will begin. I did not qualify for a SCT due to age. How are you doing today?.

    best wishes.
