The Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) Roundtable 1 (February 24th, 2025), organized by the Global MPN Scientific Foundation, provided a unique space for patients to share their experiences, discuss challenges, and connect with others facing similar realities. The discussions covered various aspects of living with ET, from the moment of diagnosis to long-term treatment effects and the emotional toll of the disease.
Part 1 – Laura: A Patient Living with ET
Laura shared how her diagnosis was unexpected, discovered during a routine blood donation. Initially asymptomatic, she later faced treatment side effects before stabilizing with interferon therapy, which also allowed her to have a child. Another participant recalled being misdiagnosed with leukemia, leading to years of emotional distress before finally accepting and managing her condition.
