Jak2 positive, biopsy next: Does it mean I have blood cancer?

Posted by tkp22 @tkp22, Jun 21, 2022

Hi, I've been told I'm jak2 positive. I'm due to have a bone marrow biopsy in a day or two. My question is, if it comes back normal does it still mean I have some kind of blood cancer?

I have a diagnosis of ET strictly on (slightly) elevated platelets and a positive JAK 2 found through a blood count. Is the complete blood count sufficient in this diagnosis, or is a bone aspiration or bone biopsy recommended ?

Hi @arti4, as it happens, @tkp22 asked a very similar question a little while ago. Hence I moved your post to this existing discussion:
