Am I going to die from my MPN?

Myeloproliferative neoplasms are diseases a person can live with for a very long time. Following doctors’ recommendations can lead to a long life because treatment options are able to interfere with what drives the disease and stop it from progressing. The focus for patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia is to prevent blood clots by maintaining good cardiac health through eating healthy, exercising, and keeping both blood pressure and cholesterol under control. The life expectancy in patients with essential thrombocythemia is generally the same as individuals without the disease and due to treatment advances, patients with myeloid leukemia are also largely living a normal lifespan.
