Jak2 positive, biopsy next: Does it mean I have blood cancer?

Posted by tkp22 @tkp22, Jun 21, 2022

Hi, I've been told I'm jak2 positive. I'm due to have a bone marrow biopsy in a day or two. My question is, if it comes back normal does it still mean I have some kind of blood cancer?

@tree7737 JAK 2v617F is an indicator for myelofibrosis, which is my diagnosis - I also had years of increasing platelet count prior to my diagnosis.

@lorieliebrock what is your prognosis?

Also was it predictive of aplastic anemia?
