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.

Today I saw the hem/onc at UCLA. I will be having a guided Bone Marrow Biopsy within a few weeks. I won’t be starting HU until after that. My diagnosis at this time still stands as Essential Thrombocythemia with JAK2 b617F allele mutation. I will continue treatment with UCLA.
