I was 65 years old and was diagnosed with ET/Jak2 mutation. My platelet count was
1 million 300 thousand. I am now almost 70 and am taking 1000mg per day. Mine was confirmed by a bone marrow biopsy. I take 81mg aspirin daily. Really had no symptoms. I feel good.

I just turned 80 and have been on Hydroxyurea and low dose aspirin for 12 years. It was discovered though a blood test and a bone marrow test. I go for a blood test now every month that is sent to my hematologist 60 miles away. I was on one low dose aspirin, one 500mg Hydroxyurea, then a second one every other day. Last summer I was cut back to one a day and two .5mg Anagrelide. I don’t recognize side effects except tiredness. I don’t sleep well and take 7.5mg Zopiclone.May just be my age.
