Newly diagnosed with polycythaemia vera (PV)

What's in this booklet? 

Polycythaemia vera (PV) is a type of blood cancer where your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. In this booklet we cover what PV is, how it is diagnosed and what treatments you may have. We also include practical information about living with PV.

This booklet is only a guide of what you might experience. Your haematology team will give you a copy of your specific treatment plan.

You can order printed copies of this booklet free to UK addresses.
