A diagnose of ET is confirmed by a bone marrow test.
Thus, a second opinion seems unnecessary. Plus UCSF is considered an excellent facility.
Do what you need to do to feel comfortable. I did not have a second opinion. My bone marrow test confirmed what Had already been diagnosed.

@skossaz Mostly I am interested in a second opinion regarding treatment. I see so many variations what people are doing with medication (aspirin and hydroxyurea) how much and how often it is taken.
