@jodyjazz Good morning Jody. I take 500 mg. of Hydroxyuria (Hydrea) 5 days a week. I do not take it on Tuesday and Saturday. I chose those days in case I ever wanted a glass of wine, I could enjoy it on a Saturday, ha, ha! Everyone’s dosage is different depending upon their bloodwork results. I think that when I first started taking Hydrea, my doctor was checking my blood weekly to see how my platelets were responding, then every two weeks, then monthly. Once my dosage was established, my bloodwork was checked every 6 months. I see my Oncologist twice each year. My platelets stay in the low 400,000. I’ve been very grateful that I’ve responded so well to the medication and have had no side effects other than being a bit tired. Although I am 69 years old now so maybe that’s part of it too, ha, ha! Gail 😀
