Well, I think I fall into the high risk category, as I'm older than 60, have had a thrombotic event and have the JAK2 mutation. But I've been on HU 500 mg since I was 39. So I'm closing in on 30 years with the dx and taking HU. I feel fine. Just saw my hematologist and I don't see any reasons I won't go on for quite some time yet!
