I have now a date for my BMB. It is scheduled on February 9th and then my follow up with the doctor is March 9.
I had a blood test on Monday Jan. 12. There wasn't too much change yet.
Oct. 9: platelets 705, RDW 15.0
Dec. 4: platelets 776, RDW-CV 14.9 ----> started HU on Dec. 7
Dec. 18: platelets 730, RDW 15.3
Jan. 12: platelets 633, RDW-CV 16.2
My next blood draw is Jan. 26, 2026.

I posted today also in Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group, because a CT scan Jan. 2025 revealed that I have some nodules in my thyroid. I finally got an ultrasound and biopsy in December. The biopsy result was 'Nondiagnostic'.

Oh boy, you have a lot going on. I am so sorry.

To me an encouraging note is: the HU brought your platelet count down in just one month. Progress!

Please be kind to yourself at this challenging time.

Good times… I have ET, Jak 2 positive… Life is good
