Hello. I have polycemia vera and essential Thrombocythemia

Hi Robin I understand how your feeling if your newly diagnosed. I have essential thrombocythemia (ET) with a JAK2 mutation. It is a MPN (myloplastic neoplasm) and will be life long unfortunately. Find an MPN specialist, not just a hematologist/oncologist. The specialist will be more skilled a duo to say on the best course of treatment for you. There are many social media pages geared towards MPNs that have lots of information. Good luck in your treatments. I’m sorry you have to ride this ride with the rest of us. Remember knowledge is power so educate yourself and learn as much as you can about it. Advocate for your care and treatment and most importantly remember to listen to your body and rest when it’s needed.

Thanks you I don't understand what going on
