I was diagnosed 6/2023, with Essential Thrombocytosis, Jak 2. It took about one year for my oncologist to have me take hydroxyurea 4 x a week including baby asprin every other day. I am curious if anyone else has experienced weight gain on this medication? I have and I walk when it is not raining and ride a stationary bike 3 x a week plus stretching exercises. I continue to gain weight even though I do eat healthy and follow the food that are suggested.
Yes, I have had some of the other side effects as well. This forum is helpful to me.
