Newly diagnosed with essential thrombocythaemia (ET)

What's in this booklet? 

Essential thrombocythaemia (ET) is a type of blood cancer that makes your body produce too many platelets. It is a chronic condition, which means it is a slow-growing type of blood cancer. This booklet covers what ET is, including how it is diagnosed and what treatments you might be offered. We also include practical information about living with ET.
