I was sent this website from my mother as I was just recently tested for Lukemia and ET. My Dr. said it is more than likely ET. I see I am not the lone ranger here but I don't really understand as everyone is speaking of this ET as a cancer? It was not explained to me as a cancer just a Platelette issue as mine is making 900 something and I was told it is to high should be between 1-200. So I am asking for someone to explain this to me so that I may have a better understanding as it seems by the looks of all the comments that maybe my Dr. is not telling me what all I need to know. We are waiting for my blood results to come back from the City of Hope. I am currently on Hydroxyurea 1000 mg daily and baby asipirin.
I will be waiting for a response from anyone, someone. Now I feel like I should be worrying.
