Hi Kisses. It looks as though the ruxolitinib is doing its job with your husband. I was told not to worry about platelets until below 50. (quite an adjustment for me as I've spent many years trying to get them below 600 on other meds!) It sounds like he has already had the dose adjusted so they are keeping an eye on things. Hope he continues to do well.
