I began taking hydroxyurea ( 2 x 500 mg) on Friday and am in day 4. Moderna SARS 2 vaccine boosted my platelet count to 1.369 million. Blood tests will be taken monthly to track the effect on JAK2 genes production of platelets. My oncologist wants to see me in 3 months. Do others in the group has experience with hydroxyurea and the appropriate number of pills that least interfere with the immune system?
