Hydroxurea Vs Jakavi
My hematologist is thinking about switching me from hydroxurea to jakavi . I’ve been on hydroxurea for 2 years but my hematacrit and hemoglobin go up and down like a yo-yo. My doctor thinks Jakavi might give me more stable blood counts. However my research indicates a higher chance of skin cancers with Jakavi. Has anyone experienced more serious side effects while on Jakavi.
I took Hydrea for 20 years and had 7 different basal cell skin cancers removed...go figure! Use sunscreen and cover up no matter which drug you take. <3
Can Anyone Share How They Responded To Interferon Or Other Treatments To Lower Their Platelets?
I Have Gained 13 Lbs. Since Taking JAKAFI. I Am A Small Woman, And This Has Caused More Abdominal Pain. Has Anyone Else Gone Through This?
