Hi @sumay,
A really big welcome to our forum. It’s great you have reached out and I’m certain you will gain a lot of support from other forum users. As you have rightly recognised- everything in the early days can certainly feel unsettling and i hope we can help with that.
Our information for those newly diagnosed may be helpful for you as it talks through what to expect, offers practical support and may hopefully help answer some of the questions you have- [I’ve just been told I have blood cancer | Blood Cancer UK (I've just been told I have blood cancer | Blood Cancer UK).
Can i ask how you are keeping? Can i also check if you have been given some information around Essential thrombocythemia (ET)? You may have been given our booklet already but if not i have linked to the ordering page here- Essential thrombocythaemia (ET) | Blood Cancer UK Shop.
I noticed a separate conversation started yesterday with another new member who has also recently been diagnosed with Essential thrombocythemia (ET) - Diagnosed with ET - Recent diagnosis - Blood Cancer UK Online Community Forum.
Should you ever prefer to talk things through with us, please never hesitate to get in touch with our helpline as we’d be happy to help in any way we can- Blood cancer information and support by phone and email | Blood Cancer UK.
Take good care, Lauran
