2 months agoMPN, now also MDS
Accepted Answer
Managing both MPN and MDS can bring unique challenges, and it's completely understandable to seek connection with others who might share similar experiences. Many community members have found that sharing coping strategies - whether practical daily management tips, emotional support techniques, or ways to communicate with their care teams - can be incredibly valuable for navigating multiple blood cancer diagnoses.
