Infections
Hi run4peach1,
As far as I understand most MDS patients are susceptible to infctions - I am so afraid of infections that I live like I have neutropenia. My doctor thinks it decreases my quality of life but I prefer to be very careful and avoid infections. You know all counts can decrease when we have an infection.
We hope that your father will get effective treatment for the pneumonia! He did get Neulasta and that should have given him enough white blood cells to fight infections but there are infections for example virus infections that the white blood cells really can't fight so effectively.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
Neupogen 2 injections/week since 3 infections July-Sept 2007
