Hi I am 75 also and diagnosed maybe in 2019. Anyhow I have only done baby aspirin and have refused medication. MyHgb platelets etc are within normal my RBC a touch high. But never had a blood clot My oncologist will not allow my HCT to go beyond 44. Even 44.5 they want to do phlebotomy which is draining and I get it done now monthly
It is too much.

Any comments appreciate

I am well hydrated. Sleeping ok. No itching follow mostly organic. And elimination of sugar except fruits etc
