Hi. I’ve recently been diagnosed with ET and find it difficult to get much support. I don’t know anyone with the same condition so don’t know what to expect. Any information would be gratefully received.

Welcome to the forum Cuppa although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with Essential Thrombocytopenia.
Hopefully you will receive some support and advice from our members soon, but you can find out more about your diagnosis and what to expect from our team of cancer nurses. They're very easy to talk to, and insightful too, so if you'd like to talk things through with them they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except New Year's Day) between 9a.m - 5p.m.
I'm not sure if you are aware of the charity Blood Cancer UK, but they also have a forum just like ours where you may be able to connect with others who have this diagnosis as well.
We're here for you Cuppa and will do all we can to support you on this journey.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
Thank you Steph for your quick reply. I will ring in the New Year to speak to one of your nurses.
