Neupogen

Hi Mseth,
You know the studies about increased risk for AML are older and now Neupogen and similar drugs are recommended for MDS patiens.

I have been taking Neupogen mostly once a week (but never EPO) 2007 - 2011. 2007 I had neutropenic fever after three infections. 2011 my WBC were normal after Thalidomide treatment.

Now I am taking Zarzio (Neupogen) again since the spring 2013 because my WBC didn't like that we increased Thalidomide from 50 mg 4 times a week to 50 mg 7 days/week. That dose increased my platelets to 180 (very high for me) bur not my HGB so now I am trying Revlimid.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
