Hello update, my platelet counts finally got to 340 from 1000 back in December, after my Hydrea was increased to 1000 a day. I hope it stays that way and wonder where I will go from here. I have my energy back, just retired at 65 yrs old from working 40 years for the federal government. Plan to travel, teach a little and enjoy life.

Congratulations, Jennifer on such a dramatic lowering of your platelet count!

It's likely your oncologist will continue monitoring your count on a regular basis. Blood work numbers may fluctuate a bit from time to time. Don't worry! That's normal with MPNs.

Thank you for your decades of government service. Please do something wonderful now. You've earned it!
