ET And Interferon
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone that has been on hydroxyures that had to switch to interferon have any bad side effects?
I have been told I may have to switch for my ET treatment and am wondering what side effects should I expect?
Thanks

I have been on HU and Pegasys. Later switched to Besremi. The IFNs have been much for effective and much easier to tolerate for me. Note that I have PV with both erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis. Pegasys is well recognized as a viable option to treat ET. Some docs prefer is for all patients.
