Welcome to the forum Johnno although I'm sorry to read you've been diagnosed with polycythaemia vera.
We have a section dedicated to this type of cancer on our website just here which I hope will answer a few of your questions but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to chat to someone medically trained to help you learn more about it. Their number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Kind regards,
