Thanks so much @nohrt4me! I'm adding these questions to my list. If you think of anything else, please let me know.
I'm also inviting anyone else reading this to share:
-questions that you may like answers to,
-questions that you may have asked in the past and did not get a satisfactory answer to or none,
-or,questions that you thought to ask and have asked and did get an answer to.
@gigi05 thanks for posting these options.
I think it would help if we could share:
How long has one had the diagnosis?
What medication are they currently on?
How long have they been on a certain medication?
What side effects are they feeling, if any, from the drugs?
Yes it is a cancer drug but also treats ET by reducing blood platelets. My doctor dies not call ET a cancer; calls it a treatable blood disorder that you can live many years with if you are properly monitored and treated.
@drbart86 thank you.
