Has anyone had another therapeutic phlebotomy one week later?

I had the same experience as new2this when I was first diagnosed. Every two weeks, I think for a couple of months. Then we switched to monthly blood test monitoring with a HCT trigger of 16 to determine when to get a phlebotomy. I’m taking hydroxyurea (4x week) and I’m now just needing a phlebotomy every 5 or 6 months.

Sorry - On this reply I meant to say hemoglobin of 16 for monitoring not HCT.
