Newly Diagnosed

Hi, I'm newly diagnosed. I actually suffered a stroke when I was 42 (now 51) and am in constant pain. Is this a common side effect from ET.  I also have a confirmed JAK2 mutation. Thank you in advance.

  • Hi iowjojo69,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you're experiencing.

    Initially it would be best to discuss this with your doctor or specialist if you can, as they will be best placed to advise specifically to you. However if you would like to talk things through with one of our nurses, who may be able to help, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
