My Mom has MDS. They started her on Aranesp about 6 weeks ago. The first two week she went from 8.7 to 9.2. Then she droped to 8.1 and now is at 8.0 and holding. Does Aranesp ever get you back up to the 12 range? Will she ever get back up to the 12 range? Should they be doing more? She found out she had MDS in February. The Aranesp shots started in March. And now they want her to go two and three weeks between appointments even wit her number at 8. They are making her wait three because they have a conference or vacation and will be out of town. I think his back up dr should be seeing her that week. We like the back up doctor better anyway but they said you can't change dr's within one practice. Any thought?
