Yes, HU is classified as a chemo drug. It is widely used for sickle cell anemia, some chronic leukemias, and MPNs like ours. I have had ET x 17 years, on HU x 6 years. I am doing OK. Take care!

May I ask how old you were when you were diagnosed? Did you have a +JAX2 mutation. Any side affects with HU? I'm new to all of this and am gathering info. Thank you in advance.
