I am on 1000 mg hydrea per day for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and Langerhans cell hytiocytosis. I have had minimal side effects and good control of my blood counts and my LCH skin lesions. I was not advised by my doctors to stop the hydrea, and did not, for any of my 4 COVID vaccinations. I had a sore arm and one day slight fever with 2, 3, and 4th shots, but nothing serious and I don’t believe it to be related to the hydrea.

Good morning cblowers1........thank you for your response to my question.
My new hemotologist thinks that my very low hemoglobin is due to the Hydrea and she decreased my dose to every other day. It is still the same @106 after 1 month. I have been doing great for three years and now things are changing. I welcome comments and thank you for your feedback.....Claire
