Hi Colleen- I was diagnosed 4 1/2 years ago. I originally “googled” PV when I was diagnosed and felt overwhelmed by the information that encompassed PV. I was determined to consult with Dr Tefferi from the Mayo Clinic after reading medical articles that he authored. After speaking to him he made me feel much better about the diagnosis.
