The New MPNforum?

MPNforum kicks off its third year with a new focus  OK, it might not look that new just yet but it’s happening.

In the past, we published several dozen stories about and by patients…but in this first issue of the new MPNforum Monthly we’re presenting a format that cuts closer to the bone:  excerpts from MPN Patient Blogs.

And replacing  the old News Briefs,  there’s The Senyak Report,  an opinionated newsletter highlighting  some current events that bear on our MPN life.

The Blog Forum

Here you’ll find short excerpts from MPN blogs created by a patient at the beginning of her PV life feeling her way into this bewildering terrain… a young woman entering a Texas hospital this week to begin her second stem cell transplant…a patient waiting, not quietly, for a needed SCT…and a view of the Pegasys  injection routine, step by step,.

Reading them, you’ll laugh out loud at least once… and there are a couple of times you might gasp. Mostly though you’ll find yourself nodding and feeling deeply sympathetic.  (Have a look.)  (https://mpnforum.com/blog-forum/)
