I think most of us would say we were hesitant taking the Hydroxyurea. I, like, you have done well with it.....after 6 months, my platelet count is in the normal range.
Knowing that the risk of heart attack and stroke have lessened, as well as the encouragement of others on this blog, gives me assurance that I am on the right track.
Praying for all who are in the position to make this decision.
