I was on hydroxyurea (Hydrea) for 7 years for Essential Thrombocythemia (aka way too many platelets) prior to my stem cell transplant 5 months ago. I felt totally normal on my daily maintenance dose and lived my life normally for those years while on the medication.
Hope you continue to do well. Lynn

Hi @lschmeit How did this conversation fall through the cracks! I have eyes like a hawk and failed to see your reference that you had a stem cell transplant in March of this year? Or February?
Well, I’ll add you to our list of SCT members! It would be great if you’d like to share your story in either of these two discussions with our growing BMT support group.
