I was diagnosed with ET 2 years ago and was told that up until 10 years ago it was considered to be a blood disorder but the world health organisation decided to classify it as a cancer.

My hematologist continues to say ET and MF are blood conditions. He said they have been reclassified to blood cancers primarily so they can get more funding for research due them being very rare conditions. And low and behold they are getting more funding to develop new medicines
