Thanks for the link - so kind of you. And yes, my liver enzymes were ok after the switch to 4 weeks for the first time in 5 months. My ET wasn't necessarily progressing but my TP53 mutation went from 30% mutated to 67% in just a few months. Making the switch was to help prevent progression since the TP53 genes is the guardian gene that protects against cancer.

Hi @chocolategirl. I’m sure you and your doctor were relieved to see your liver numbers back to normal after adjusting the treatment schedule. Hopefully your side effects will also start subsiding. Sometimes it can take a little tweaking to get the dosages just right…the happy balance. How often do you have labs?
