Any correlation between Essential Thrombocythemia & high B12?

My heme doc said not to look anything up on the Internet. Often times the information does not apply to my situation, so I would think the same advice would apply to you!
Breathing, breathe out. It’s going to be OK especially after you know more about the scary stuff.
BTW: we recently learned. There is a difference in how bloodwork is processed. My husband was told he had low platelets (83). On further analysis with equipment that could check his platelets immediately it was found his are just very sticky. So 3-4 platelets clumped together looks like one. He still has some stuff to go through, but this is better news than what we expected. I hope the same is true for you.

Has your Hematologist said sticky platelets are the norm? Is you husband on a baby asa or a blood thinner..I agree not to go onto Dr. Google but there are sites that are very informative..For instance if you go on you tube and search, in your case, ET you'll find MDAnderson, Sloane Kettering, etc hematologist oncologist who specialize in just your specific disease with the caveat always discuss with your Doctor. I was surprised one day on a You tube pod cast to have my Dr. from MDA discussing PV..I believe an educated consumer is a healthy thing however, I don't do anything without first discussing with my Hematologist.
