I had a bone marrow biopsy before talking meds. They used it to confirm my JAK12 positive & they confirmed that I don't have any other genes that currently show possible mutation for leukemia or anything else. I don't take anything besides baby Aspirin right now. I'm considered low risk since I'm only 48 & have had no previous issues.

Hi cdurbin,
Thanks for posting. I guess I just really would like to have it determined what I have exactly before taking med. other than aspirin. That would be much easier for me to take the med. how fantastic you are just taking aspirin now at 48 years old. I turned 65 with no previous issues and feel I have no really confirmed diagnosis other than night platelets. I have no JAK2 mutation on lab.the others were not tested. I just need to have more information about what I have exactly before I feel comfortable taking Hydrea. Aspirin I would not have any problem taking.
