Hi @Tomie, welcome to our forum and thank you for posting. May I ask how you and your husband are doing? Changes in medication routines and blood counts can be anxiety-provoking, and your questions and concerns around this are very understandable. May I ask if you’ve been able to share your worries with your husband’s team, perhaps with his Clinical Nurse Specialist? If you have on-going concerns, it’d be worth sharing them, so that the team are able to support you both and put results in context with your husband’s individual circumstances. In case it’s helpful at all, we do have information about essential thrombocythaemia on our website, which includes symptoms to look out for.
We do also have a Nurse Advisor thread about blood counts on here, and I’ll tag my Nurse Advisor colleagues @GemmaBloodCancerUK and @LauranBloodCancerUK in case they have any more to add. Please do also keep in mind that we have a support line, and you’d be very welcome to give us a call if it’d help to talk things through, on 0808 2080 888.
Best wishes, Tanya.
