Why Your Mental Health Matters

If you or someone you care about is affected by a rare, chronic blood cancer such as  myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), it's crucial to monitor not only physical symptoms but also emotional well-being. Emotional symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life, making it essential to address both aspects of health.


Speak Up About Your Feelings

Whether you're an MPN patient or caregiver, emotional ups and downs are normal. Keeping feelings bottled up can lead to increased distress, affecting your health and relationships. Here are some articles to help manage these emotions:




You Are Not Alone

Managing the emotional aspects of your MPN journey can greatly influence your overall experience. It's important to acknowledge that difficult days are okay, and connecting with others can provide essential comfort and support. Remember, you are not alone; a supportive community is available, including family, friends, and your MPN healthcare team.


We encourage you to join the MPN World community, where you can connect with other patients all over the world, share experiences, and access valuable resources tailored to your journey in a safe environment.
