We also answer real questions from members of our MPN online chat community, covering topics like life expectancy, genetic mutations, and managing side effects. Finally, we discuss current treatment options, emerging therapies, and share a message of hope for patients and their loved ones. DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPT CLICK HERE to participate in our episode survey.
