I am 72 years of age and was also diagnosed with ET in November of 2024. HU was the first drug that we tried but every side effect that was listed as possible I had even the ones listed as possible. My hair also fell out. My second med that we tried was Ang but we had to stop it because of the fact that it messed with my heart. I am on Jakafi now but I am having side effects from it now. I might have to decide if the drugs are worse than the ET
