I went to see the Hematologist today and am going to start Hydroxyurea 500mg daily. I will follow up in 2 weeks with repeat labs and a visit. I hope this works for me.

I took Hydrea for 6 years successfully and had no side effects. I was 73 when I went on it. I’m now 80 and have progressed to AML but I believe hydrea gave me six good years.
