I have ET with the JAK2 mutation and my hematologist-oncologist has me on both HU and low-dose aspirin. As he describes it, the HU lowers the platelet count but the platelets that remain are still abnormal and "sticky." The aspirin works with HU to further reduce clotting risks, so it makes sense to take both.

Thank you for your reply. I had moved recently from one state to another, and only the new doc suggested both. Makes me wonder why the other doc didn’t mention or suggest this. But you have helped me decide to add the baby aspirin now. Thank you, again😊
