My Polycythemia Vera and JAK2 positive test and diagnosis was on Nov. 25, 2022. After starting 1000 mg Hydroxyurea daily, 4 Phlebotomies and weekly CBC labs I was advised to return in late February for a CBC review. HCT history went from 66.3 to 37.6 as of Jan 26, 2023. HBC dropped from 21.6 to 12.6 over this period. I am 70year old female. Currently I am following my blood glucose levels (over the years successfully controlled by diet) it has shot up from 90 to 150 I am wondering if this is something that is to be expected.
