My comment was somewhat vague. I had my first visit with hematologist/oncologist that diagnosed Essential Thrombocytosis with. JAK2 v617F mutation. He prescribed HU. I am waiting to start as I have a second opinion with a University hematologist/oncologist the first week of June

On 4/30/25, I was diagnosed with ET with JAX2 v617F.
My hematologist/oncologist told me to take 81 mg baby aspirin and retest in 3 months. My initial platelet count was 553...my first retest is the end of July. Perhaps your HU treatment was initiated due to your high platelet count...but who knows. Glad you are being proactive and getting a second opinion.
