Life is still good! 72 yo female, diagnosed about 2 years ago now. Platelets run mid-high 600’s on one baby aspirin every morning. Reached over 700 once, my doc talked about HU, but then we decided to wait as long as I exercised at least a couple times a week. Each of us is a little different, so work with your doc.

We still travel a lot, Europe almost every year. Took 3 weeks in Italy and Slovenia this year. My Heme doc says 2 aspirin/ day when we fly. Works for me 😊

Btw: I still work PT, and take it easy when I’m tired. Mostly my life has not changed. Read others posts and you’ll find yourself in good company. Blessings on all your days ahead.
