I have recently been told that I have ET and I need to have a bone marrow biopsy, so the consultant can decide what treatment I need. I've been prescribed aspirin so far. At no point, did the consultant say if ET is a cancer. Is this normal?

Hi SD2020,
Welcome to Cancer Chat. While I'm not best placed to advise about this, there is some information on our website here which may helpful.
Otherwise do discuss any concerns you have with your doctor or consultant so that you can be as fully informed as possible.
Wishing you all the best,
