Hi my name is Pam. I was diagnosed in April 2023 from a routine blood test.
My platlets were in the 700’s I was referred to an oncologist who put me on 1 baby aspirin daily. He ordered blood work which came back positive for Jax2.
I seen him again in August my platlets were 920. He only wanted me to take 1 aspirin daily. I also was having neck surgery in October and he said I would be fine to go ahead with surgery. I had surgery on October 10th. Neck surgery C4-T1. The surgery went well. I spent two nights in the hospital. I went home on the 12th. On the 13th both arms were hurting bad. I went to ER and was admitted. They did an MRI and there was a blood clot pressing on my spinal cord. I had a second surgery on the 14th. I went home on the 16th. I’m doing really good now. On November 17th I went to see my oncologist. My platelets were 466. They ran my blood twice. It came out 466 both times. They asked me if I had been doing anything differently and the only thing is that I have a lot of people praying for me. I go back to see him in February. I will keep you all posted.
