It is like I take 500 mg hydroxyurea 2 X D except two days I only take 1 X D. At the date of concern, count was about 700-720 K. It is interesting that I am on such a higher dose?

It seems that different people need different doses. What you're doing is working for you -- that's what's important!

You might want to look back through your lab results to see if you can find your "driver mutation." Is it JAK2? CALR? MPL?

My oncologist says that those of us with the MPL variation seem to need a higher HU dose.

All good wishes!
