Dacogen 1st Cycle
My Father went for the 1st cycle of Dacogen (5 days 20mg/m2) from 2nd to 6th Feb 2010. I had his counts checked this week Hb : 7.3 Platelets : 16000 and WBC : 1.6 (neutrophils 12%), and says No immature cells seen. This is his 4th week of Dacogen, problem is he is feeling congession in chest, cough and dosen't eats much, says he feels like vomiting, sleeps more almost all day.He is scheduled for 2nd Dacogen cycle from 2nd March. I don't know what to do as his WBC is quite low (Will that be a problem?). He is having Neupogen twice a week. Has anyone experenced such problems with Dacogen?
I had his Ferritin test done it is 1880 ng/mL should be 22.00 to 322.00
Thanks
