Hi. I'm glad they found the issue before you had a blood clot. What was your platelet level and what's the dosage of your Hydrea? Becky's gums are a little sore for the last couple of days but she is not sure if it's related. Other than that, she has no side effects.
She is on 500mg of the Hydroxy, once per day. Her platelet level was in the mid 600's when we started wondering if something was going on but she had no symptoms from that.
Hope that helps and I hope you can get to the bottom of your side effects. I would think it would be a good idea to talk to your oncologist regarding the side effects you are having.
Good luck and keep in touch if it helps. I think this forum is outstanding.
Steve
