Today is World Blood Cancer Day

Last year at this time I was aware that my red blood cells and platelets were too high.

This year I know why.

Last year I had only read the words Polycythemia Vera.

For the rest of my years those words are my life.

Sending love and hugs to all of you on this site. You give me information, hope, support and understanding like no one else in my life can.

Thank you.πŸ™

Very kind thoughts! We are more than our disease. Honestly, most of my days, PV isn't even in my mind. I think we do our best to live a great life and don't think of ourselves as sick.

Not what you're looking for?
