I am also very interested in supporting myself using diet, targeted supplements, herbs and spices.
My concern is that once you are on the hydroxyurea, a chemotherapy drug, you can no longer take other blood thinning supplements like omega 3, or turmeric as they can or may interact in some way. And we know that these supplements have many other helpful benefits for our health.
I am glad to know that you are not having any side effects so far from the hydroxyurea. How long have you been taking it?
In your situation with very high platelets, I would be concerned about possible blood clots and the consequences of that like stroke.
Let us know how you fare at your appointment.

I'm on HU and have been for 18 months with no side effects. I take turmeric and Omega 3s every day with no problem.
