I'm new to Essential Thrombocythemia
Is there anyone out there to talk about ET experience, doubts and futures? I was diagnosed this summer but I've probably had it at least 2 years since bleeding symptoms first attracted attention. I'm a CALR mutation and taking hydroxycarbamide/hydroxyurea. I find researching it really interesting and

PV diet and excercise in addition to hydroxycarbamide
I had my bloods checked yesterday and my platelets have increased dramatically over the last few months. I was told by my haematologist that I would have to increase the dosage I take of hydroxycarbamide. I said I really didn’t want to take anymore tablets and said would it not help if I excercised more

hi Cancerconcer1 i know you can by co/codmal 8/500mg over the counter at a chemist try taking them but you may find you get constipation but they are a good painkiller a bottle of lactulose will help with constipation if these do not work ask for a referral to see a Neurologist as you seem to be going

Jakafi side effects
Hi everyone, I’m 62, diagnosed w et about 12 years ago, pv a few years later. Terrible itching, esp in high temperatures, was driving me crazy. I got on Jakafi for the itching, and that’s been great. But my immune system has gone to hell—weird infections, bimonthly bronchitis, painful heel bursitis

Hydroxycarbamide
My partner has just started on 500mg hydroxycarbamide. He was diagnosed with PV 5 months ago. Is this quick starting on this drug. They have been using vivisection to bring his red blood count down prior to this. This is all so confusing and scary for us. Any advise or help would be very much appreciated

Bone Marrow Transplant Failed
In early 2017, I took a big bet. I suspended normal cancer treatments, in order to preserve my eligibility for a very novel phase 1 clinical trial. Initially, I didn't qualify, but they agreed to modify the trial to make me eligible. That process took a while, so we didn't get started until late 2017
