My haem never gave Neupogen to his MDS/leukaemia patients. Even when my neut count was zero...no Neupogen.

He said the same thing, he was suspicious that it would increase the blast count. I've been told lots of times that studies show there is no increased risk but I think a lot of haematologists are very wary anyway.

I think as long as you arent septic, it's better to be safe than sorry.
