Good morning, @cajunqueen and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You’ll never know how many people you’ll be giving a lift to with your information about ET and how you’re handling this bump in the road in your life journey.

I love your positive spirit and attitude. I swear that is one of keys to facing any situation. It helps keep us focused to the future. You’re right in that this blood condition doesn’t define who you are. You’re the same vivacious woman you’ve always been just with a little medical drama tossed in for intrigue. 🙃

Again, welcome to the Connect forum. May I ask how you found out about us?

@loribmt thank you so much for your kind words! Made me tear up....because you are so right!! Your words, "medical drama tossed in for intrigue" really best describes this season for me....you are 100% correct and I will start using this in my conversations when discussing ET. I found this platform by Google searching Essential Thrombocythemia - Symptoms and Causes. Once I entered into the Mayo Clinic website and read the valuable information about ET, there was a link at the bottom of the page that read: Connect with others like you for support and answers to your questions in the Blood Cancers & Disorders support group on Mayo Clinic Connect, a patient community, so I clicked on the Support Group and read all the stories and comments and realized that if I wanted to comment or post, I had to make a login account, to which I did! I am so thankful that I found this for my own experience and to hopefully educate and help others! I hope this answers your question and I look forward to checking in to get updates and give updates on my journey!!
Blessings,
Tifnie Queen
