Essential Thrombocythemia treatment with Besremi

It was a year in March since I started Besremi and it worked a charm. Unfortunately my last blood test showed it is affecting my liver, common in 20% of patients according to my hematologist.
I am now having a weekly blood test to monitor my liver and will be taking half the dose of Besremi I was on, so down to 50mcg. My doctor said that once my liver levels are back to normal, we will slowly increase the dose and that perhaps 70 or 80mcg will be the right dose for me.
Fingers crossed as I really don't want to change from Besremi.

Besremi has been successful for me although I had to go up to 400 before it had impact. I am stabilized now and my dose has been reduced to 200. I did have a couple of spikes on my liver (AST and ALT) but they have gone down again. Please keep us posted on your results. I hope it normalizes soon.
