Platelets are too high: What can be done to find root cause?

I was diagnosed last year with ET CALR mutation. When my platelets rose to the level of 552 the end of February, my oncologist prescribed .5 mg Anagrelide 1x daily. I had slight heart palpitations at first, but they shortly subsided. I now have no side effects. I am 74 years old and have energy to continue hiking and golf. I protect my skin for sun exposure. My platelets level as of April 8th have already gone down to 465. I am so pleased to have no side effects and it is quickly working to lower my platelets!

Thank you for your reply. I see my hematologist in 3 days and I am going to ask her about this. You are the second person that has suggested this. The last time I had my checked they were in the mid 600. Very concerning
