I was diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera 1980... until now I still have it. Polycythemia Vera is the condition in the blood where the Red Blood Cell count is higher than normal... It is the opposite of leukemia... Anyone who has this disorder?

This is actually the first time I've heard of such a condition. I never knew we could also have an excess of red blood cells. Is this curable? Is this hereditary? I mean, what does it do to us if our red blood cell count is above normal? Just the same, I do hope the prognosis isn't bad.

You're amazing! You thank God because of that cancer. You're one in a million, factorial. Most of us usually blame God whenever we have problems or whenever we suffer from certain illness. Whether we accept it or not, it's the usual case. Why don't you try stem cell injection? I am not sure if it can also treat you, but I heard that this stem cell is indeed effective in treating almost all diseases.

You're a good heart! Stay strong and know that God has your back no matter what. Your illness may be something that makes your body weak but your enthusiasm keeps your spirit healthy! God bless.

yes this is a rare blood disorder... actually it is another cancer of the blood... and we (with this cancer) have learned to live this kind of life... we have a group in Facebook and we exchange notes... our chemotherapy treatment is through a capsule. I have gone into a nuclear treatment. By the way I have another cancer... in my throat hahahaha! yes I still can laugh. No worry Viva God is so good! Amen!

@factorial :( I hope all is good. I don't even know you and that message made me feel strange.

I am sorry to hear that, factorial. I am not sure if I have or not. Could you please help me understand this kind of illness? What are the symptoms?

Does your whole body tremble?

I can't understand. If you have an illness and your body trembles, does it only mean that you're suffering from that illness? How did you satisfy yourself?
