Question Super high platelets & out of control Blood Pressure

Hi, I am newly diagnosed with Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) early stage of essential thrombocythemia. My platelets are 1.3 million. Today I finally got to hear a Dr. agree with me that the high platelets are driving the BP skyward.

I start Hydroxyurea 500 MG on Monday. I also was diagnosed with breast cancer this last Tuesday. They are waiting for the platelets to come down before they do any further surgery.

Has anyone else had this BP/platelet problem?

Thanks for this Forum/Site. I am studying as often as I can. Learning to pronounce the medical terms is a challenge. YouTube videos help. I can hear 'doctor speak' without giving blood.
