Thank you for sharing that. Really good to hear there is life after stroke.

MPL is pretty rare. I am CALR+. They tell me that that "flavor" of ET has slightly better outcomes. Higher platelets but fewer stroke incidents.

Just for fun, my vet friend tells me that dogs get ET, but seems to be a benign condition in canines that doesn't cause the clot issues it does in people.

That dogs get ET is fascinating!!! Do their driver proteins mutate, I wonder, or is this spontaneous?

So much is unknown about the MPNs.
