As far as I know the GCSFs are supposed to stimulate the growth of white blood cells, specifically neutrophils. The Epogen I started is to stimulate the growth of the red blood cells and improve my hemoglobin level. I believe they are given together sometimes but I am just on the Epogen.

Good luck with you BMT!!

Happy holidays
