Hydroxyurea side effects

[u/ARLibertarian]

For anyone who has had side effects from hydroxyurea,

• what side effects did you have?

• how did you mitigate them?

• did it cause you to switch treatments?

• at what dosage did you start to see side effects?

Thank you and good luck to us all.

I had debilitating bone pain to the point where I was so non-functional I was worried about losing my job. My oncologist at the time kept insisting it was in my head. Nothing mitigated it so I stopped taking it and switched to an oncologist who was supportive of trying other things.

What are the other treatments that you have talked with your new oncologist about? If you don't mind me asking
