I’m 81 too! Diagnosed 12/24 after 2yrs of horrible migraines. Do you take Hydroxyurea ? If so, do you take it in the morning or night? Do you experience side effects? Thank you for your encouraging words.

Hi @elainegivner
I have had MPN ET tripple negative for over 17 years, started Hydroxyurea on 2nd January. So far a bit of sunsensitivity, tire easily, otherwise good. I am 74 in July. Was previously on Anagralide with no side effects. Did research and there is not much difference in both of these drugs. Hydroxyurea is a chemotherapy drug Anagralide is not.
