Hematologist Vs MPN Specialist
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi all,

I have an MPN specialist that I have seen for 3 years and visit twice a year. Recently, my insurance changed as a result of turning 65 and the MPN specialist is not in network. Therefore, I will self pay and see her twice a year. Recently, I made an appointment with a hematologist in network for blood work and for renewing Hydroxyurea script. My question is whether to tell the hematologist that I visit an MPN specialist?

Thank you,

A myMPNteam Member

A myMPNteam Member

Excellent resources- I think it does - I have PMF - primary MF but have thrombocytosis.

A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

Hello
My husband has triple negative ET at the moment but still gets very fatigued and when he goes through times he has a virus/cold he becomes abnormally exhausted even more and it takes him more days to recover. I feel an FMLA would help alleviate some stress for him. In case a day off to recover on his worst days happens. Plus he’s having to take off work for blood work follow-ups at least every 3 months now if not sooner. But as we all know this doesn’t account for any specialist were… read more
