Husband with polycythemia vera

My husband was diagnosed about 3 years ago, in his late 50's. We are managing ok. However, the medication has some nasty side effects. Just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience?

  • Hi Fi-man,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you're getting on OK, although I'm sorry to hear about the struggles with side effects.

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get more replies. You can also use the search bar at the top of the page to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    Do of course keep in touch with your husband's doctor regarding any issues with side effects, in case there is any additional support that can be offered.

    Wishing you all the best,
