@binkybunny the cancer blood specialist told my husband he wasn’t really worried unless it gets over 600. He is just taking baby aspirin at this point.

@toste
That's what my oncologist told me, too. If my platelet count gets above 600k, he said he'd prescribe a chemo pill. For now I'm on a coated low dose 81mg aspirin daily.

@toste My doctor also said up to 600 was acceptable. Everyone has a different norm depending on age and other health conditions. I’m 59, JAK2 positive and have PV In it for almost three years now.
