update on dad
Yesterday we had a follow up and my dad's hgb was at a 9.4! Although he received a transfusion of 2 pints two weeks ago, it was a great day. My dad started on Procrit and although it probably won't work (because my dad's Erythropoietin is a 686), the doctor thought it was worth a try because there are no side effects? Am I correct on this? Does anyone know what the difference is between Epogen and Procrit? Thanks!
