I was diagnosed with Essential thrombocythemia (ET) about 4 months ago, I am on Hydroxycarbamide daily. I’ve noticed, recently, more hair on my jumpers and pillow, not a lot but just more than usual. Any tips please. I have very fine hair anyway. Just looking for any tips to help really. Ho everyone is as well as they can be. I’m off to Madeira on Monday, and if anyone knows me on here, they will know what happened to me on my last holiday, so fingers crossed this time. Be nice to have some warm sun.

Oh @LynnB fingers and toes crossed for you, go very carefully.
I have Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and have never had treatment, I also have fine hair and my hair has definitely got thinner over the last 20 yrs since diagnosis.
I also have heart problems and that has made my hair even thinner.
My poor head is really feeling the cold.
I am not aware of any magic potions but your specialist nurse might be of assistance.
Someone on here might be able to share their experiences.
Enjoy Madeira and please do let us know how you get on this time.
Thanks @Erica - I certainly will. I see my nurse just after we get back so will mention it to her. Take care in this cold snap. x
