Living with Polycythemia Vera
Last updated: September 2023
I had polycythemia vera for about 15 years. I have been giving blood twice a month to keep h&h (hematocrit and hemoglobin) in normal lab values. Last year I have not given or received blood but I am stable. Thank you, Lord. I get checked once. This month I am 70 years old.
