Blood Results

[cheeks1]

Hi I have ET (Jak 2 +) and was just wondering, if anyone could help. My bloods have been relatively stable,until my last set of bloods which showed that my WCC count has risen significantly and I have become anemic too. Is this cause for concern or just naturally happens with ET?

Hi Cheeks, I have had ET JAK 2+ for 25 years. I have not had any such changes in my blood. If ever I do, I will review the changes carefully with my hematologist to determine if anything needs to be done - like more tests or a change in meds. So, I would be concerned but not alarmed. I am sure others will chime in who have experienced such changes and will have more to offer. My best to you.

Hi, Thank you for your help, have discussed with him and has suggested another bone marrow biopsy at next visit,. He is unsure as i'm currently only on aspirin presently for my ET.
