What Are The Effects And Treatment For Polycythemia?
Hi My father has been diagnosed with polycythemia. My father was recently discharged from the hospital two days ago. Before the hospital we found him in the toilet in a weak and unable to move. We are confident that our father fall or fainted. According to his doctor my father suffered a stroke as a result of blood thickness in his body. An x-ray has been made as well as the CT scan and in accordance with that there was a thrombus in his brain as much as 3 millimeters. My question is how serious is this disease to my father and what action has to be taken,thank you.
