My Primary Care Physician also told me that ET is not "technically" cancer. My oncologist told me that this cancer will not take me, but that I am at high risk for a stroke because of my age.
Yes, I agree that it's frustrating, but I take my HU 500 mg. every day and try to get on with my life. I find that exercise helps.

Thank you for your reply. I take HU 500 mg. every day too. Thank you regarding exercise is helpful. I was told the same regarding a stroke. Knowing that this cancer will not take us is encouraging. My brother also has ET and we are in our early 70s.
