I have had ET, JAK2 positive, for 12 years. Received no treatment until 20 months ago when I had serious pulmonary embolisms and platelets went to 800,000. Now take 500 mg of HU daily and xarelto. Platelets now in low 200,000 with very minimal side effects. I almost waited too late to start treatment.
