Is Essential Thrombocythemia a blood disease or cancer?

Hello,
My Platelets have now dropped to the 270 and I am now being seen every 3 months. I still suffer from burning feet (if someone knows of a treatment let me know) I am trying to watch the occurrence to determine if it happens after I have wore heals or worked out. I also, now have the darkness in my feet from the Hydrea. However, my least worries. wish there was away to treat the color discoloration.
Just thought I would share an update.. Hope all is well!

Do you have nail discoloration or skin? I have heard of HU dark streaks in nails, but 6 yrs on HU, and I haven't noticed that. Yet. Skin discoloration is one I haven't heard. I do have foot tingles, prickles, and burning, but hemo told me that's a circulation issue and do exercise for lower extremities. So I have an exercise bike. Helps to keep my feet moisturized, soak in cool water, put feet up. Your platelets seem good. Will doc reduce HU dose for you?
