Hi
I am wondering how you are doing? Did you stop taking Hydrea? I am just starting on this journey and my doctor told me that once we got my platelets down to 600, we could try to see if I can take it just once a week or so. He said that sometimes the bone marrow stops overproducing. I don't know if there are any problems with stopping Hydrea. Please let me know if you find out.
thank you and God Bless
