Three years before I was diagnosed with ET, I notice my platelets were elevated. Then year 2 also, by year 3 I asked my PCP why my platelets were elevated and kept rising, then he sent me to hemo. I often wonder if I had not asked, if he would have sent me to hemo or waited a few more years? Who knows?

Similar story. It was a nurse who took care of me during an endoscopy who noticed the platelet levels on my chart (600s) and advised me to push for a diagnosis, God bless her.
