Hi Lisa,
Hopefully your father will get better if he if will get Neupogen and Procrit
! I think all patients with low very WBC:s should try Neupogen or similar drugs. Procrit and similar drugs have best effect if the patient’s own EPO from start is less than 500.
When they mention T-cell receptor gene rearrangement and flow cytometry for large granular lymphocytes they are perhaps thinking of another dx than MDS. You could ask them why these tests are done.
Do you know anything about your father’s blast cell count?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
70 yo, MDS Interm-1 dx May 2006, Neupogen 2 injections/week since neutropenic fever Sept 2007
