@nohrt4me Hi, thanks so much for the information, it's so helpful to learn of other people's experiences and how they moved forward. I live in a small town in New Zealand with limited medical resources so I find this group and Google a massive source of information. As more people share their experiences of ET and JAK 2, it would be great to find a common denominator that triggers them. Is is environmental, is it childhood medical problems/flus etc. Why is it more common over the age of 50. So many questions. Interesting that your father had and you have ET. When I asked if it was inherited, as I thought I would need to tell my family, was told no. Again shared experiences so helpful.
Good luck with your journey, please keep us posted on your progress.

@virginiafizz, I also wanted to pop in to let you know there is a group dedicated to people living with and managing aortic aneurysms on Mayo Clinic Connect here:
