Dr told our son that it was a blood disease and not cancer. Anyone else have this experience?

Hello, Cluebbers. When I was first diagnosed with PV, I was told it was a blood I discovered it myself when I noticed I had small abnormal red cells -blast on my lab tests. I'm so sorry your son has this. I told my adult sons to let their PCP's know about my Post PV Myelofibrosis.
