Newby to ET
Recently been diagnosed with ET. Consultant suggesting Chemo Pill, but only after "going through several hoops" Did not explain what the process will be. Any information of what others had to go through before medication?

Can anyone comment on Stanford Medicine Health Care second opinion program?
How long did it take to get the second option, did it help guide you? My doctors are exploring cryotherapy, Brachy Therapy and surgery to remove the prostate. But ultimately, the final decision will be mine. I'm trying to understand the risk and success factors of each option. I was diagnosed 11/21

Chemo damaged my bone marrow.
I have had SCLC since February 2019. Went into remission in May 2019. A year later it reoccurred and I got chemo every month from July 2020 until August 2022 when my blood work wouldn’t improve. I’ve been anemic , receiving blood every few weeks. My neutrophils are very low and now blast cells are

bloodthinners
I’ve been on blood thinners for6 months after having a Pulmonary Embolism post surgery. I have completed my Chemo. 3 weeks ago and I have been told I can stop taking blood thinners as my risk is no greater than the normal person. Has anybody else been through a similar experience. I feel a bit anxious

Has anyone developed postnasal drip whilst being on this trial. I thought it was taxol causing it but I stopped chemo at the end of October and I've still got it. Im still on the trial drug.
