I am 75 and I just started taking Hydrea every other day. I’m new too. I’ve only had 3 capsules so far. I take them at night with lots of water with some food. No side effects so far. Hope you do well!

I’m on my 4th pill today and just received a call from my oncologist’s nurse. She’ll be checking in every week to see how I’m feeling and to answer any questions. It feels great to have such good medical doctors!

I'm 75, too. My count was 553 when my doc started me on baby aspirin on 4/30/25. So glad to hear no side effects! My next lab is the end of July...I hope it's good news. Unfortunatley, it's a waiting game with ET. Take care.
