I'm curious, what was reason to have blood tested for Jak2, if platelets were within normal range? And yes, ET is a chronic blood cancer. Wondering if you are on any medication for Jak2?

ET is not necessarily a cancer. My heme doc says there are 4 types and the JAK2 variety is not cancer. (Maybe it can develop into something else later?) Ask your doc and stay with whatever re-testing schedule they recommend.
