Hi @suanne90. You’ve popped into a conversation in the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group. The members in this discussion are all taking a medication called Hydroxyurea, or Hydroxy, or HU. It’s often used as a frontline medication to treat the over production of certain blood cells in blood cancers or bone marrow conditions such as polycythemia vera-over production of red blood cells or essential thrombocythemia where there may be an over production of platelets. HU also has other applications for different blood cancers.

Welcome to Mayo Connect. May I ask what brought you to the forum today?
