Hi thanks for sharing.
How high were your platelets when you were first diagnosed?
Mine were in the 700k range.
Yes, corporate medicine is a whole different ball game.
If you're stable for 7 years maybe your doctor will consider taking away 1 pill to keep you're other blood lines from getting too low.
Good luck with valve.

@mjfp49 Just on aspirin x 3 years, but when platelets started through 700s to touch 800, HU was introduced. One per day got them to 600s. They stalled there for a year, so an extra HU added M-W-F. They've stayed in 400s since then. I have asked about ditching one cap per week as other bloods have decreased, but I mostly see the nurse, and she says no. I am grateful to have been stable for these years.
