Hi Birgitta,

I'm going to use the link you provided and broach the subject of th pre EPO serum again. I think the nurse might have said the test was expensive, but like you noted, can't be more than the actual medicine!

If I may ask, in terms of following the platelets (excuse my learning curve) carefully with the administration of EPO, is it more ideal to have the platelets higher or lower (in terms of the EPO)? I might be a little mixed up...

Plus, when you got EPO did you get the infusion or the subcutaneous shots? Someone said the subcutaneous injections have some issues, but this is what the doctor is proposing.
As well, do you know if people get blood transfusions while on EPO, at the same time? The nurse said this can be the case, but would that be safe?

thank you for all your input, it means a great deal.
