6 months after 2nd round ATG
I'm hitting the end of the 6 month waiting period to see if the (second) ATG is working. My numbers are better, and I haven't had a transfusion since April 1st. My hgb stays around 9, my platelets hover at 60, but I've been getting neupogen shots to keep up my white count.
I seem to have hit a plateau in the improvement. I'm wondering what is going to happen now; another round of ATG, move to transplant, or nothing? Has anyone else hit this wall? I know I need to talk to my dr, but I like to hear a patient's opinion too. |
Hi Amber,
Do you know what your ANC would be roughly without the Neupogen shots? What is your ANC on Neupogen and what's the dose of Neupogen? |
My ANC will drop to 0.5 without the shot, possibly lower but they keep giving me the shot, mainly because I went back to work part time and am afraid of getting sick. The shot gets my ANC over 1.0 and my white count a little above 2.0. I'm not sure on the dosage though.
