27 years is a long time. I am glad you are feeling
well. You must have good medical care in your area.
I live in North East Georgia. Unfortunately in the
more rural areas your care is hit or miss. I was referred
to a great Dr. in Gainesville, Ga. So I do feel lucky.
Why did your Dr. change your medication?

After 15 years on HU I developed locally advanced Basel cell carcinoma on my scalp and long term use ofHU apparently can do that though nobody told me that so -beware.
I see my hem thru telemed so find a good cancer center and get onboard with a doctor there and you just need to have blood work done locally. Do your homework and read up on all you can about what you have. We have to be our own advocate.
