Hello Eileen. Thanks for checking up on me. I actually had an appointment with my hematologist on April 10 at that time. My platelets came down from 610 to 534 which was good as I was only on HU for two weeks. I had a great conversation with my hematologist and he also set up a meeting with the hospital pharmacist. We are having a conversation over the phone on April 17. So far, I haven’t experienced any side effects except for that first day of use and I am very thankful for that!

Jack…that is great news.
After selling our condo we came drove back from Florida on March 17. It was a very stressful time. I saw my hematologist ten days later. My platelets were 581, headaches much less. She decided to let me have a longer break from HU until I see her again in a month….I am on Eliquis so less worry about clots.
Best wishes, Eileen
