My platelets numbers were similar to yours in January, plus blood work identified a Jak2 mutation. I would definitely recommend that you see a hematologist/oncologist/MPN Specialist. I am very high risk with those numbers, also due to age, over 60. I take one baby aspirin per day, one iron (low iron but not anemic), and 500 mg of HU 2x week. Now, my platelets run 500-550, but overall blood work looks better than before I started HU. Take care!

I do see a Hematologist.
Hence/ being prescribed Hydroxyurea/ than being told to take Anagrealide.
I’m 48- taking the supplements I am taking my platelets are coming down naturally.
With NO help from chemo pills-
There are Natural Hematologists out there- not just one that love giving said pills to patients because than they don’t have to deal with you.
I’ll go naturally.
Thank you! .

It is like I take 500 mg hydroxyurea 2 X D except two days I only take 1 X D. At the date of concern, count was about 700-720 K. It is interesting that I am on such a higher dose?
