My husband’s WBC count continues to rise despite taking 500 mg of Hydroxea every other day. His WBC went from 55,000 to 69,000 in 2 1/2 weeks even after being on Hydroxea for 3 weeks. The Hydroxea has brought his platelet levels, which were once high, within in the normal range. So it is working on that but not his WBC count. His oncologist just bumped him up to taking the Hydroxea every day, just yesterday, with the possibility of bumping the dosage. Has anybody experienced this same thing? There is talk that if the numbers keep going up, infusions will need to be considered. Those of you who have experienced infusion, what medication was used and what were the results? He is 68 years old and has multiple health issues including diabetes and high blood pressure to name just a couple.
