Nexor;

My husband gets EPO shots every two weeks for his MDS_RCMD. The EPO is either Aranesp, what doctor prefers or when Medicare didn't pay for that he got epogen or procrit. I don't know what they would be called in Croatia. Incidentally, he is going to be 77. Diagnosed when he was 75. I agree with previous post to keep track of blood counts. Don's dr. is most focused on his HGB.

Good luck.

Joan
