We had a pleasant discussion about the progress with current medication. There is improvement with managing the blood cancer, although it’s understood that it is still a higher number than considered acceptable. This has continued to be a problem; complicated by my intolerance of recommended drugs that I have taken. Recently, I chose to go back on a medicatiin that gave me trouble in the past; rather than take a drug that seems much more damaging in side effects. Since I am now taking a lower dose of the Hydroxyurea than the standard treatment, my doctor suggested that the dose is increased. I prefer to proceed less quickly (to hold off on an increased dose) because I want to make sure that I can build tolerance. The last couple times taking the capsule resulted in less pronounced setbacks, & the platelet number is gradually diminishing. If the next days indicate that improvement in daily function, with less side effects, is steady, then I will increase the dose as the doctor recommends—the doctor knows that I’ve struggled for a long time with side effects on medication, & is giving me the courtesy to pace myself as I try to adjust to the Hydroxyurea. I appreciate the sensitivity & care of my doctor.
