Neupogen and AML

Hi Paula,
Good that your mother got effective treatment for the UTI! You know the latest reports about Neupogen (G-CSF) and AML have showed that Neupogen doesn't increase the risk for AML:

I have been taking Neupogen 2 inj/week since Neutropenic fever Sept 2007. June 2010 when I had been taking Thalidomide one year I tried to take only one Neupogen inj/week and my WBCs have been stable around 5.0 one week after the injection. Now I will try to stop Neupogen and hope my WBCs will continue to be in the normal range.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
