Hi Will,
Here is info about Neupogen:
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100001828.html. UK was very late in approving Neupogen - perhaps that's why they have not prescribed that drug to your father.
Then Vidaza is available in Sweden since Feb 21 2009 but still not "free" – the cost is 329 GBP per day for the drug. It should be given in hospitals so we don’t pay the drug in any case. Hope it will come soon in UK too!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
No adverse effects of Neupogen 2 injections at home/week since neutropenic fever (sepsis) Sept 2007. No infections for 18 months (knock on wood) - I live like I have neutropenia to be on the safe side.
