Is my treatment a bit aggressive?

Hi Tom! The blood numbers look encouraging with a nice decrease in the platelets. The bmbx will give a good overall picture of the health of your bone marrow…the heart of your blood production. So the results will be useful for your doctor going forward and making decisions for your continued treatment.
You might discuss the possibility of a lower dosage with them once your numbers reach an optimum level for maintenance. There are a number of members who have had reductions once their numbers were stable, to help minimize side effects. Have you talked about the numbness/tingling with your doctor? Do they feel it’s from the HU or the ET?

Actually think it's the ET, I have this going on for a few years, seems to be improving on aspirinand HU, as well as improvement with a few minor issues with dry skin and itching. But have minor itching after showers. Very encouraged by the response to HU
