Nb Creatinin was 297 compared with normal range 45-120
indicating dehydration, so I'm drinking a lot & will have another
blood test tomorrow. Platelets continue to fall but neutrophils are 
above the level of 0.5 µmol/L described as 'severe neutropenia',

Plan B appears to consist of regular blood transfusions and no
medication to replace the hydroxycarbamide.

Haematologists have written to Professor H  the foremost expert
on myelofibrosis to see whether she has any ideas on treatment.
