[MOL] Essential thrombocythemia



I'm a 39 YO White female.  At a routine doctor's visit, I told my 
doctor that when I gave blood, my hemoglobin screen was 17.3, and the 
phlebotomist remarked she had never seen a "score" so high in a woman.  
My platelet count was 792, up from the 600's earlier this year and in 
years past.  My doctor wasn't in today when I got there to have another 
test drawn.  I asked one of the nurses what elevated platelet count 
could be an indication for, so she copied off a couple pages from one of 
her books.  I've spent the last hour or so pulling off the 
internet everything to do with ET that I've been able to find.

Needless to say, I'm a little concerned.  Please send me any info you 
have.

Thank you in advance.  Kacey Blaney
