Myelofibrosis: Let’s Learn More from an Expert about this Rare Disease

This month’s call-in will focus on myelofibrosis, a rare diagnosis that is often curative through a well-timed stem cell transplant. We will cover advancements in the field, non-transplant treatments and the current landscape of transplantation, including referrals to transplant center, eligibility, and time to transplant. Arpita Gandhi, M.D., M.S. of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Knight Cancer Institute will share her expertise. As well, Mark H, of Portland, Oregon, a myelofibrosis survivor, who recently underwent an allogeneic stem cell transplant, will share his story, offering inspiration and coping strategies. Jennifer Gillette, our licensed staff social worker, will host this call. There will be plenty of time for live questions.
