Hi Jill,
I should be very careful - you know if you get an infection your platelets will probably decrease too
. They are low already.
In the clinic where I am treated I can ask the nurses to control for example neutrophils every day if the neutrophils are very low. Then I ask for more Neupogen if I need more than my ordinary 2 injections/week. Last summer I took Neupogen every day during 9 days because my neutrophils were very low due to treatment with an iron chelator not approved in the US.
Neutropenic fever/sepsis should be prevented if possible - it is dangerous for you and will cost a lot to treat.
Hope your counts will improve!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
