Have you been able to ask your consultant or medical team about this? If not, do try to do so as they will be in the best position to answer your question as they have access to your medical history. You can have a chat about this with our cancer nurses as well if you like. Their number is 0808 800 4040, which is free from a UK landline, and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
I know we have some discussions about polycythaemia vera already on the forum so do have a look around and join in. To find them just use the 'search forum' option above.
