Hi, I have ET/JAK2 & Dr wants me to start Hydroxyurea 1 per day. I’m concerned about taking a chemo drug & the side effects. My platelet count is 681.

I have the same thing. I take 1 hydroxyurea 4 times a week and 2 pills on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Platlet counts about 420 which my Dr is happy with. My count was up in the 900s.

Same here Dr. wants me to start Hydroxyurea and I have the same concerns about side effects. My Platelets are high and Iron is low having Phlobotemy monthly. I'm Interested in hearing from others who are taking this drug.
