Focus on MF: 3 Ways to Stay Ahead of Your Symptoms

Author: Voices of MPN
Blood Cancer Awareness Month is a globally observed moment in which we come together to support those living with blood cancers.
Myelofibrosis, or MF, is a type of rare, chronic blood cancer. Each year, approximately 5,000 people are diagnosed with MF in the United States and one-third of those have no symptoms at diagnosis.
MF is also a progressive disease, meaning that over time, new symptoms may appear or existing symptoms may get worse. As MF progresses, the risk of developing possible complications increases. That's why it's so important to regularly monitor how you're feeling and speak up to your healthcare professional about starting treatment right away.
Don't watch and wait for your MF symptoms to get worse. The earlier you start treatment for your MF, the better the chance of reducing your risk of disease progression.
