Unfortunately I’m not a pilot 😂,you can say I’m an airline ground dispatcher pilot ,I don’t fly.
When I asked the doc maybe it’s sec pv,he told me that my EPO results was 9.5 and it’s very normal and I don’t have any disorder in the kidneys,liver,heart and lung.he also told me that the city or the country which I live isn’t above sea level.
He told me I must to undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and it’s not because my hemoglobin goes up a lot of times but because there’s no sec reason for it ,so it have to be the bone marrow,so he wants to make sure the bone marrow is normal ,because maybe I have abnormal cells or myeloproiferative disorder or maybe myelofibrosis or even familial polycythemia.
So could I have genetic disorder in the bone marrow even though no history of cancer diseases for my family parents or generally any disorder even though all blood tested such as jak2 or bcrabl,mpl,calr came negative ?

LOL. You fooled me!! I should have looked closer! But I love your photo anyway! ☺️
It is possible for people to have disorders without having any genetic or acquired genetic issues. As I mentioned, some blood conditions can take a lot of sleuthing before coming to a diagnosis. The biopsy may not be definitive but may help rule out certain conditions or point to others. I know it can be really frustrating in the meantime! I had a very aggressive blood cancer and have had 13 biopsies over the course of my treatment. So I can empathize with your anxiety. I think you’ll find it’s not so bad and it’s over quickly.

I was going to ask about your EPO level. But that’s all good as well. Hmm. You’re very young for this, but do you know if you have sleep apnea or not?
