In Conversation With … Adam Spielman who talks to Nona about his PV, from diagnosis in 2008 to the present day. Adam tells Nona that his GP recommended blood tests because of nerve damage in his leg, and that due to the results he was referred to a haematologist who diagnosed PV. The diagnosis was a shock, particularly to his wife, but he felt quite well and started to research MPNs to find out more. He tells Nona that he feels very lucky as he doesn’t experience many symptoms. He also tells Nona that he is very excited for the future regarding the use of AI (artificial intelligence) to look at bone marrow images and blood tests to categorize the results into which MPN the patient has, and how optimistic he is for the future for more scientific advances in the field of MPNs.
