MDS RAAEB-2 and nupogent
Thank you all for the generosity of spirit in sharing information on this forum.
My father had a transfusion. He received a nupogen injection but after 3 days his WBC neutrophil counts did not go up. He has just started on Vidaza (10days on, 5 weeks off - on day 2 now) and the Haemotogist said they would not give Nupogen as it may increase the production of blasts.
The generous and encyclopaedic Birgita said in one post that there is no data to support this (I cannot seem to find the post again - will keep searching). Is there a reference?
What are others experiences?
RBC 10*12 L: 2.90
Haemocrit %: 29.00
White Blood Cell Cnt 10*9 L: 1.10
Neutrophils: 0.22
Lymphocytes: 0.62
Platelet 40.00
Much obliged
