It started with a little nose bleed that persisted for a couple weeks. He had some blood work done and that night he was told to go to the E.R. Transported the next day to Rochester and diagnosed within a week. Bone marrow and lots of blood tests. Platelets got as low as 2K

Did they do a molecular panel to determine which genes have mutated? The reason I ask is I have MDS/MPN Overlap with Thrombocytosis which like your son is two different blood cancers. The bone marrow aspiration and biopsy results which were done at Sloan were confusing as they indicated multiple issues including MF but the molecular panel cleared up the confusion when that test indicated I was JAK2 and SRSF2 Positive. My doctors at Sloan are huge fans of the molecular panel so you might want to pursue that test. Good luck.
