Hi- I've just been diagnosed with ET. I'm 60 years old, feel great and the journey started with a routine CBC. Not sure what I need right now other than a supportive community. Would love to hear from anyone who can offer that.

Welcome, @as86. when getting a new diagnosis, it can be hard to even know what questions to ask. You've certainly come to the right place to find a supportive community. To get you started, I moved your post to thsi existing discussion:

I did this so you can read previous comments and connect with helpful and kind members like @nohrt4me @1995victoria @nyjean @preacherswife1977 to name just a few.

As you have more questions, you can use the group search to find more discussions related to ET : https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/blood-cancers-disorders/?search=Essential%20thrombocythemia&index=discussions

Have you been referred to a hematologist?

You didn't even know ET was possible until you were diagnosed, right? Among your acquaintances, you may not find anyone who's aware of this condition.

But here, you're among friends. Someone will weigh in on just about any question or concern you may have.

Ask away!
