Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Tammie, My doc said the same as yours. Get rid of it now before it gets worse. Once I started I wasn't about to quit, just my nature. In hindsight, since the treatment failed, I should have quit. My red and white counts were too low, and I had to take too much neupogen to keep it up. The epogen was no problem. The result was headaches I could hardly stand. Medication over the following almost three years made things worse. Thank God the pain is better and I am off the medication. My prayers are with you for success. It does work sometimes. But if the going gets too tough, it is no shame to quit. Sometimes a person's body just cannot tolerate all that poison and rebels.
