@jsslmt53, welcome. We have many members who are living with Essential Thrombocythemia and talk about JAK2 mutation and treatment options. I could've moved your initial post to any number of discussions where you'll find helpful and supportive members to journey with you. I chose to start you here:
- How did you make the final decision to begin HU protocol for ET? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-did-you-make-the-final-decision-to-begin-hu-protocol-for-et/

Here you'll meet @eansgardengirl @arti4 @treeore @rjgregory440 @koryw208 @athl @nohrt4me @eileen11108 @claire39 @anno @garyinmo @cleo2 @mortysdad @biddypoppop @cowestwinds @marthajones and others.

Here are additional discussions you may want to check out:
