Hi, Karen here.

I was diagnosed about a month ago with Essential Thrombocytosemia, the rate type. . My platelets were 700,000 and were gummy and dangerous for clots.
I have a JAK 2 and TET2 mutations.
I had Myeloid Panel done.

Any advice for me on how to manage? This is new to me and I have only told a handful of friends and family.

I am having my first follow up Dec 21 with my oncologist.

Do you worry about getting an infection or getting the flu from Someone. I cannot take a flu vaccine, they say.

Thank you for your information and I appreciate your time.

Karen
