I’ve known about my ET since 2013, don’t now how long I had it before that. My platelets had always been 950-1200 range up and down. I started taking Hydroxyurea 1 year ago. Now my platelets are down in safe range. My B12 has always been at the high good threshold, sometimes a little over. Taking Hydroxyurea has not changed it. For me Hydroxyurea has no affect on B12 level.

I understand what your saying, but my B12 is not a little high, but abnormally high. It's probably 10 times higher than what it should be. I do have an appointment scheduled with my Oncology Hematologist next week. Hopefully I'll get some answers then. I will update when I know anything.

Taking Hydroxyurea has not affected me in any negative ways and helps to keep my platelets lower.
