I was diagnosed with ET in 2023 w/JAK2- numbers are around 600 - I also have the CHEK2 gene mutation - and am adopted so no biological history. ET was confirmed with the bone marrow biopsy. I am 56 and continue to maintain an exercise routine and healthy high protien eating. I do have days that I am pretty tired, and have noticed what I could do before takes a little more out of me - but overall I'm living with the cancer and not letting it interfere with my daily life. I do not plan on taking HU - I will enter the higher risk group once I turn 60, but I take it day by day and try to live healthy. For me this cancer is present but I choose to keep it in the background and while being aware of it, not let it run my life. Good luck with your journey!
