All this is all new to me, its was my hemoglobin that was very high, the oncologist didn't say anything in regards to my hematocrit levels. Thank you very much, I'll look up that number and ask more questions.

When I was first diagnosed I had to have several weekly phlebotomies to get my hematocrit under control. The magic number for me is 42. If I go higher I schedule a phlebotomy. The HU is keeping my platelets stable. I’m now on HU every other day with monthly lab draws. We’re hoping I’ll only need phlebotomies every few months. It takes a while to,get adjusted.
