You've been through a lot. You're taking good steps! Every dose of HU and Eliquis is helping you.
And finding an MPN specialist will be great too.
As you probably already know by now, HU makes our skin more vulnerable to sun damage. And it lowers our immune response. I wear a sun hat anytime I have to be outside, even when driving. And in busy indoor places, I wear a mask.
Please keep us posted -- we're rooting for you!
