Essential thrombocythemia (ET): When to start hydroxyurea (HU)?

@leene808 thank you for sharing. I have seen a specialist with ET at USC. Right now she said I’m good with the aspirin, but when I am 62 in February she suggest I get a bone marrow biopsy just to make sure I have what they say I have and then get on meds. We discussed the meds and I feel I’d like to get on interferon . Why did you change your meds now ?

@anavleek Need a break from the HU and Besremi will work on my potential to develop a resistance to HU after so many years. I also am having the beginning of PV, at least my blood work shows some changes that made my hematologist recommend it. Starting to have some heart problems, as it relates to ET ? maybe, numbers are showing some heart failure. Just trying to hang on as long as possible. I am 67 now and was diagnosed with ETJAK2 when I was 32.
