@vickieannb57 interesting what you said about age spots on your legs—me too. Many more in the past 6 months. Please tell me what HU is? Do you try to watch sugar and carbs? Nice to connect with you. Have a nice day.

It is Hydroxyurea this is a chemo drug from the 1960. I take it for the Jake 2 mutation which is high platelets. The Doctor warned me to use sunscreen as this drug caused previous sun damage to come out. I figured that is the age spots . Hope this helps my platelets were down to 291 at last blood check. Oh and no I eat what I want . Guess I should diet my Doctor said this is not cancer but there is no cure . Good Luck
