CBCs-R-Us Home Page

Welcome to the CBCs-R-Us Support Group for patients living with Myeloproliferative Disorders (MPDs) and their family and friends. Our purpose is to educate the public and help each other deal with the realities of this so-called "orphan" disease.

We chose the name "CBCs-R-Us" because getting a CBC (Complete Blood Count) is a regular routine for MPD patients. Many of our members got their MPD diagnosis only after a CBC was done as part of their annual physical.
