I’ve been on HU for PV since 2021.. My platelets have dropped and been flagged as low (120 or below) for the past 2 years.. I’ve been as low as 91 which seems concerning but this is not an issue according to my hematologist/oncologist and I actually have felt great thru this to date… I exercise daily; ride the bike weather permitting and swim at a recreational center every day.. HU seems to impact people differently when it comes to side effects and test results..

One year for me on HU. Platelets were in a steady decline but my last blood test showed an increase. I was just a bit concerned.
All the replies helped to ease my fears.

All the best to you!
