Hi,
I just came home from the hospital today after being there for a week with intitially a pulmonary embolism and subsequent diagnosis of essential thrombocytosis after a bone marrow biopsy was done. My cytogenetics will not be back until next week so I am not sure if I have any acoompanying disorders. I am on Agrylin instead of hydroxyeurea due to risk of leukemia in later life. I also take aspirin. I am 32 years old and a little freaked out. I am also on coumadin for the lung clot and Cardizem for the tachycardia that the agrylin is giving me. Does anyone have any lifestyle suggestions such as diet or exercise to help me remain or become healthier? Thanks. I have read other posted messages and I feel better already.
