We’re all about helping Canadians who want to learn about or who are impacted by the different blood disorders known together as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) is the name given to a group of conditions sometimes referred to as blood cancers.
MPNs originate in the bone marrow – the soft tissue in the middle of the bones where blood cells are made. In a healthy person, bone marrow makes blood stem cells that, in time, develop into mature blood cells – red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets.
Some of the tests you may go through before being diagnosed with an MPN
Your doctor will monitor your condition but you also play a vital role – alongside your doctor – to manage your condition and your symptoms.
