I am really new at all this and trying to navigate this disease, but my mothers new Hemotologist told her that you should see results by the 3rd injection. She had 6 of them. By the time we switched Hem/Onc her hemoglobin was down to 6.2 and her old dr. still wanted to continue the injections hoping for a response. New doctor put her on the tlk-199 clinical trial. I could be wrong about this, however this is our experience with aranesp.
