Hello,
My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with JAK2 + ET in 2020 and subsequently had a BMB in November 2020, confirming this. I have posed this question to you all before and received great feedback. Thank you so much!!
However, the new pediatric hematologist and the pediatric MPN specialist are suggesting another BMB over the summer. My daughter’s platelet count is stable in the 800’s range and taking 81mg aspirin daily. However, the platelet count rose to 1,250,000 when she was sick and lowered to 800’s after recovering. I really don’t see the need and I would prefer not to proceed with another BMB so soon, if it’s not necessary. Does anyone have any feedback or recommendations regarding whether or not we should commence with another BMB this summer?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Angela
