Dx of PV confirmed
Hi all. So had phone call from my haematologist today to confirm a Dx of PV. I am off to sunny climates today for holiday so he has sent a letter to my GP to start me on aspirin when I return. Won’t see me again until planned Sept consult with him. Not sure when venesections will start, hopefully not

Yes or no to Aspirin??
My husband is 35 years old fit and healthy he has been diagnosed with ET calr type 1. The haematologist at the NHS hospital said he doesn’t need to start any medication not even Aspirin but I went to see a private haematologist and he said I should take Aspirin. I’m so confused? Is there any risks taking

Random bruises
I'm 67 and taking 500mg HU daily along with aspirin for PV. Bruises randomly pop up on the backs of my hands. Of course today it happened 30 minutes after I had already left the doctors office. Anyone else experience this??
