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.

I think your Hemo should check WHO and CDC. ET with Jak2 is considered a chronic cancer.

My blood doc. Says otherwise, that it is a cancer. I am discovering that Some doctors have different opinions. I wish someone would clarify this for all of us.
I asked my doctor, after the last comment regarding this and she said that opinion was wrong, which makes it quite confusing. Can someone shed some light on this
