I went to a Dr for one full yr and feel I lost one full year of my life being put on HU. He doesn't care at all! How you feel and what your side effects are. He drills it in your head I will take this HU for life and in so many words live with the side effects. He has no heart or soul. His PA is identical like she has been trained that way by him. I up and stopped HU 2 wks ago per my PC and have an appt with a different oncologist/hemo March 3 referred by my PCP who can see how sick I feel and how HU has completely screwed me up. I never felt this sick before HU and I am very sick still coming off this med after two weeks. I just pray everyday I am ok til my new appt and this other DR is a good send.. the Dr never called me to ask where I am at or why I cx my last appt. I don't trust him and more than half of his reviews are soo bad! He tells patients that no one ever isn't to second guest him ever! He dx me totally off of blood labs and never a mention of BMB. I feel he has totally ruined me and I pray everyday this new Dr is going to be completely opposite as my PCP claims. Good luck to all.
