Hello,
About a year ago I was diagnosed with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and JAK 2 Mutation following the discovery of a clot in my head. I am currently on coumadin and my other bloodwork has been normal. I know very little about JAK 2, however, I am aware that it can develop into cancer or other blood problems. The way it was explained to me by hematologist is that it may happen, but it's not a definite. Is there anything that I can do to be proactive other than having my blood drawn regularly?
Thanks so much!

Hello @kimmermat, welcome to Connect. You may notice I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled, "JAK2 mutation effects and questions." I did this so you could read through the many posts by members on this exact topic as well as so those members could see your post and have a chance to introduce themselves to you and share their insights.

@kimmermat, while we wait for others to join in again, were blood draws the only thing discussed with your hematologist?
