That’s great to hear. I started on HU 4 months ago and has taken lots of gradual adjustments to get below 400. 16 a week suddenly started working when previously 14 was doing nothing…..funny how it just seems to kick in

thank you. Yes it’s a year next month I was diagnosed with triple negative ET and the extra chemo drugs a week has lowered my counts and first time time normal wbc

Excellent news. At the beginning of the year I was on 3/day which my body couldn't tolerate. Dropped to 2/day and now 1/day with 2 M,W,F. Amazingly, my numbers dropped. It is interesting how this drug works for some. Best wishes and good luck

Are you referring to 10 as capsules? That would be 5000mgs weekly?
