Hi @Jerome,
Welcome to our online community forum. I’m sorry to hear that you have only recently found out that Polycythaemia Vera is classified as a blood cancer. It’s very understandable this has come as a shock after living with the condition for 16 years.
I can see that @Duncan and @Rammie18 have already shared some helpful information and links to our resources around this.
The main purpose of the forum is to provide a safe, supportive space for people affected by blood cancer to connect with each other. You can find out more about what to expect and how to use the forum in our terms of use.
If you would find it helpful to talk things through in more detail with one of our experienced blood cancer nurses, you would be very welcome to contact the team on: 0808 2080 888 or by emailing support@bloodcancer.org.uk.
Take care,
Tom Beddow
Support Services Manager
