Neulasta and a question about supplements?
David had a NEULASTa injection on 4/22 and the afternoon of 4/23, he began having horrid leg bone pain....still has it, but a little less now.
Figured out the problem - NEULASTA was given same day as day 5 of Azacitidine! Should have been a two week break between. David crashed. Hct 20 and Hgb 6! 2 units of packed red cells and he is functioning again.
Also a curosity question? Has anyone with an MDS diagnosis taken Turmeric and Fucodian? Hear they are great supplements but fear they might be contraindicated with Azacitidine. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks David and Beverly
