Hi Hughhesf. Where in Spain are you? I am in Madrid and was recently diagnosed with ET CALR type 1. It's a little scary as I cant speak Spanish yet and so feel like I only get bits of information and not the full story from the doctor. He is prescribing no meds and saying we just keep monitoring for now but my platelets are over a million always and I have grade 2 (on 1-4 scale) fibrosis so seems to me from reading others posts here that this is quite serious. Anyway just reaching out as you are first person I am seeing in Spain who speaks english that is in similar boat.
