Hi all, my dad has recently been diagnosed with acute leukaemia following 20 years with Polycethemia Vera. Just wondering has anyone been down this journey? Still awaiting a path forward from doctors.

Dear catherinem.

Thank you for posting on our online forum. I was very sorry to read about your Dad’s diagnosis. No doubt this is a very worrying time for you as a family. 

I do hope you hear from others who may be able to help you understand what to expect. In the meantime, I have provided a link to a website that you might find beneficial.

We are all cancer nurses on the support line and would very much like to support you and your father at this time. If you would like to speak to a nurse, please call 1800 200 700. We are here Monday-Friday, from 0900-1700.

Kind regards,

Cancer Nurse
