[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 150969, member: 84"] Terry I'm also hoping this is just another weird variation to the PV and nothing more. The oncologist is testing him for the JAK2 gene when he comes back in 2 wks. She's not mentioned much in the way of treatment except the phlebotomy right now. I didn't know about the chemotherapy, but had seen the medications they use. That article was good, and I'm always looking for new stuff on PV. Research makes me feel like I'm doing something. I found one by accident that talked about PV newborns. Now I wonder if this has been the reason for all his problems right from the start. But although I found the articles about PV newborns, they tend to leave you hanging about the childhood years ect, so who knows? I'm still trying to learn more about that. easy child wants a 2nd opinion. I told her I'm going to wait and see what 2 wks brings to make that decision. That's the trouble with small town docs. There are those that are darn good and here because they enjoy small town life. But the majority seem to be those who couldn't cut it at a major hospital. So I've learned to be wary. I'd have felt better if she'd done more blood tests yesterday. I have a strong feeling she didn't because Travis is self-pay. Hugs [/QUOTE]
