Hi I have been a 'browser' here for a while but never posted for personal reasons. I am 64 (65 next week) and was 32 when I was diagnosed with ET. I think I must have had every treatment available in the last 32 years; radio active phosphorus injections, interferon, Hydrea, Busulphan, Anagrelide, aspirin
