Hi ChillyAsh34, so sorry to hear that you have bowel cancer. Not quite sure what it is you are asking for advice on. Best wishes, Maz

How to bring on board the MPN specialist sorry I was not clear

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice in reply to ChillyAsh34]

Thank you. You can ask the consultant who is treating you for the bowel cancer to liaise with your haematologist regarding your care, and it would also be a good idea for you to contact your haematologist to make sure that she/he is aware of what is happening. Best wishes, Maz

If your existing hematologist is not an MPN Specialist than you would be wise to seek consultation with a MPN Specialist. This is particularly important in the context of having another cancer. Others on the forum in the UK have reported getting referrals from either the GP or the current hematologist. Our UK friends can do the best job advising you on getting a referral. Here is a list many consult to identify an MPn expert provider. mpnforum.com/list-hem./
