Thank you for your answering. I take this medicine only since two weeks but I scare potential side effects. It was prescribed for me end January, but I dared not to take it for a couple of weeks. I began all the same because my blood results deteriorated.

My hair has thinned and my gut acts up every so often, which I treat with kefir. If your numbers are moving up take the HU. I wish my onco had started me early as a precaution since my counts kept moving up. My treatment in the hospital probably saved my life as the count moved from 1000 to 1500. I didn't die but I lost my toes from a clot and gangrene. The HU has been scaled back now and my count is 250 for the last year. But the damage is done.
