I’m a 62 year old lab tech diagnosed with ET, JAK2 mutation . Started hydroxyurea and liver enzymes skyrocketed . Read the side effects and it said liver failure and all other things it can cause! Anybody change from hydroxyurea to interferon?

Btw, do you think because your exposure to the agent orange you could be develop this blood disorder?
Hi Namvet, I just found this app. Nice to meet you virtually. I was diagnosed with ET on January 2019 after a regular blood lab. Then more blood labs were made and I had the result of the Jack2 positive too. My platelets had been under control since I’m taking hidroxyurea for 2 years now. I’m 43 years old
Along with my diagnosis I have a related Gene mutation (jak2 positive)
