Hesitant on starting Hydrea for ET Jak 2

We each experience ET and HU differently!
But in hopes it will reassure you, I'll mention that I take 1000mg of HU six days a week, 1500mg on the seventh. (I have the stubborn MPL driver, very hard to rein in.) This has been my dosage for more than two years.
No serious side effects.

@janemc I have the same driver (MPL) and am on 1000 mg of Hydroxyurea 7 days a week.. my platelets have been on the rise again since January and are currently at 793 . I am waiting to hear from my hematologist about what more we can do. I am getting quite concerned.
