I am 33 years old and recently diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia in September 2022 shocked and confused with life . I am on meds like aspirin and Hydroxyurea from oct as my blood platelets were over 9.88lac now its lowered in last test done few days ago. I wanted ask how you guys are handling this situation and will I go through Chemo as well. I have no clue but my mind never stop thinking.

Wishing you Happy New Year ❤️

Hydroxyurea is a type of chemo. Have been on it since 5/2021. Platelets down from 1600 to normal range now. It does bother my digestion but digestive enzymes help. Articles on this site have been very helpful!
