I am a 45 year old male who was just diagnosed with polycythemia vera.The doctor told me very little other than I need to have phlebotomies done.He said I would live a normal life expectancy....this contradicts everything I have read on the subject, which is quite a lot.What is the life expectancy of someone with this disease.My HCT is 57.8%.Red cell mass is 35.6% from ideal.Plasma volume is -14.9% from ideal.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

I am a 40 year old man with pv. I have not met anyone or talked to anyone who has this disease. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and would really like to talk to someone who goes through what i go through on a daily basis, to see and to discuss this horrible disease. If there is anyone reading this with pv, please reply.
