My husband gets shots of Neupogen when his white count is low. He even had it during Vidaza treatment as well. Some get Neulasta. Has the doctor considered this?
Bob did well with Vidaza for about 10 months. He has been changed to Dacogen to try to get ready for a BMT. Now he has been receiving platelets, and 2 units of blood. He hasn't had to have these in over a year.
