Hi All,
Thanks for the responses! My father isn't taking procrit because his erythropoietin level is already abnormally high. Unfortunately, it isn't increasing his blood production at all.
Yes, I meant my father's doctor. I've been seeing his doctor at least twice a week for the past year, so I almost consider him my doctor too!
Birgitta - that's a useful link! I wasn't aware vidaza dosages could be modified based on the patient's WBC. I'll definitely bring this up with the doc next week.
