EPO+Gcsf
Hello forum members,
My mother had not responded to Eprex 40,000/week, given for 8 weeks. The doctor did not feel the need to try an increased dose. Now on my insistence, he has agreed for higher dose Eprex 60,000 weekly, with addition of G-csf weekly 300 from week 3. She starts neupogen next week. Any personal experiences with this combination or anything to watch out for? Any views on whether the Eprix and Neupogen be given on the same day or spaced out in the week?
Any new treatment gets me very hopeful but also worried.
Thanks.
