What was your platelet count when it affected the spleen? My H/Onc doctor was concerned about the spleen enlargement in the beginning of my ET treatment. My platelets were about 770. I had ultrasound and my spleen was normal size.
Now my platelets have been around 510-520. I am taking HU.

My platelets were over 700k and my white count was 13-14k. I was anemic and received iron treatment. Hydroxy urea caused my red count to suddenly drop again so I was immediately taken off that. The specialist at Mayo Clinic had my doctor order Ojjarra instead. After over a year on it, my platelets are 350k and my white count is 7,000. Hemoglobin stable around 12,5. I’m so thankful to have been put on this newer drug.
