Needing help understanding ET and how it affects my life
Blood Cancers & Disorders | Last Active: Oct 29, 2023 | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
Is there a specific cancer center? The one in my town I’ve contacted twice with referrals from two different doctors and they won’t make me an appointment. Can I contact any hospital? What do I ask? I also have anxiety, so this is probably harder than it should be for me. Thank y’all for all the information so far.

Try to find a good hematologist-oncologist ET is quite rare, so might just take a good doctor who wants to do research to help you.....Best wishes....v

Find a good oncologist. That's what I did and they see me about every 4 months and check my blood. I have been on hydroxyurea since 2014. It definitely helps to keep my ET numbers to at least an acceptable amount.
