Polycythaemia Vera (PV)

What's in this booklet? 

Being diagnosed with polycythaemia vera (PV) can be upsetting, particularly when you may never have heard of it before, and may even have had no obvious symptoms. If you have questions about PV – what causes it, who it affects, how it affects your body, what symptoms to expect and likely treatments – this booklet covers the basics for you.

This hardcopy version of our booklet can be ordered free of charge to UK addresses.
