I read a lot about primary Myelofibrosis but very little about secondary Myelofibrosis. What is the difference?
I have secondary Myelofibrosis. I take Jakafi 10 and Anagrelide.05
Twice a day. My numbers are good.

There are two types of myelofibrosis:
Primary myelofibrosis is myelofibrosis that occurs on its own.
Secondary myelofibrosis arises secondary to other blood disorders, including primary thrombocytosis or polycythemia vera. Secondary myelofibrosis accounts for about 10% to 20% of diagnoses.
My ET has progressed to myelofibrosis. Is that the same as primary myelofibrosis that this article refers too ?
