Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks , I seriously appreciate the good thoughts. I also wanted to tell you that when I saw my local doc again last Thursday, each count was a few notch's better. I again took the double dose of Aranesp 400 units and Neulasta 12 mg. (I think it's mg. I have such a bad memory, I can look it up later and I will tell you if I was wrong) Anyway, the normal Neulasta is 6 (mg?) and the normal Aranesp is 200 units. This is the second time he has given me this heavy dose and I had no bad effects the first time. Also, if it helps me to continue to get better I feel I can do it as I haven't heard anything negative about either Aranesp or Neulasta. I haven't researched a lot about it, but the doc and his parner both said it was safe, that the worst thing that could happen would be back pain from the neulasta, but that since I had been taking it for several months that the chance of that was small. So far they have been right. However, this was the same doc who told me to take 4mg of Chlorambucil a day instead of 2mg and to take it for 2 months when I had all ready reach the ultimate level of response at one month. Live and learn I guess. Also I realize that I have to watch all docs. Even then it's all a crap shoot anyway. Educated, but still a crap shoot. Thanks again, Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
