Abstrakt: | Bren Cox, a 57-year-old woman, experienced symptoms such as headaches and fatigue for over a year before being diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV), a rare blood cancer. Despite repeatedly seeking medical help, her symptoms were dismissed as normal signs of aging or attributed to menopause.
