Thrombocythemia and need neck surgery: Will surgery make it worse?

Posted by blondie65 @blondie65, Sep 1, 2023

I was recently diagnosed with Thyrombocythemia my platelets are over 900. The Dr. put me on a low dose aspirin. He said when it reaches over 1000 he will put me on a drug. I’m also having neck surgery on Oct 3rd on C4 thru C7. I’m scared, will the surgery make the Thrombocythemia worse?

HU is short for hydroxyurea.
