I have ET JAK2 and was diagnosed using genetic blood tests. My doctor told me that a bone marrow test was not necessary. True?

So you had these tests JAK2V617F,JAK2Exon12,
BCR ABL-MPL-CALR?which one was positive?
I don’t know the medical reason for what your dr said but I remember my Dr told me that if the tests I wrote up were negative he will put me to bone marrow test ,and I think maybe because one of these tests came positive so he doesn’t need to see the bone marrow,maybe he will need to see the bone marrow after you starts your treatment,so do you take aspirin? And What’s next ? What’s your next step?

My oncologist said the same. If treatment will be exactly the same either way, no need to endure the bone marrow test and the COST of it.
