Me, too. A routine blood test found high platelets, which led to a referral to a hematologist. He tested variants and found JAK2. Yes, it’s scary till you look at statistics. Many people have lived with this for decades. My heme doc said it’s not necessarily a precursor to a cancer. It’s more like diabetes and usually controllable.
Do you have a treatment plan? I’m taking an 81mg baby aspirin daily. So far, so good.
Best wishes,

Btw: Life goes on! I’m sailing the Rhine River on a Christmas Markets cruise as I write this!
