Diagnosed with ET. Numbers seem to be somewhat unstable. I feel fine except Hydroxyurea makes me a bit nauseous, so take it with food, which helps. See Hematologist usually every three months. Now a couple of weeks overdue as they do not want me to come to the hospital center, in nearby small city. We live in a rural area and our local lab is closed, along with some others, due to threat of Covid19. The Doctor wants me to get a blood test before he can issue new prescription. I have found a lab in small town nearby and have an appointment in a few days. They are doing tests only by appointment, one person allowed in at a time and they check before you enter re Covid 19 symptoms etc. I am 79 and my husband is also older, so we have been trying to do our part by social distancing and isolating etc. We have everything we need. I would certainly rather not be going to any lab or appointment right now but it seems that the blood test is necessary. The Hematologist phoned me the day I was to have been there for his appointment to check on me and he reiterated the need to go for the blood test. Be careful everyone to avoid the virus threat.
