Copper
Hi Chirley,
As far as I understand there are no rules for how different drugs will affect the bone marrow - how soon the HGB, WBC and platelets will increase or decrease when the drug isn't working any longer.
When I started to take Thalidomide the platelets responded after 4 weeks, the HGB reached max after 15 months and I could stop taking Neupogen after 17 months.
I have never felt any bone pain except when I had to take Neupogen every day during 9 days. As you know it is a cytokine and stimulates the bone marrow like the copper you are receiving.
Perhaps your bone marrow will function better if there always is enough copper for the stemcells.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
