A week since the first cycle of Dacogen,
Bob finished the 5 day cycle on the 18th. He had a transfusion of platelets on the 19th. He has had a very rough week since. He is weaker, and in more pain, ( bone softening? mentioned in side effects.) He has had fevers and flewy feeling. I hope we will be past this soon. Did you have these types of side effects? How does it affect you? He is on a 4 week rest period untill the next cycle. He was on Neupogen this week. No recovery of WBC or neuts yet. neuts are .2, WBC 2.1. platelets 23000. Will get Neulasta tomorrow. Will see if this is any better than Neupogen for Bob.
