Down here in the US.....a lot of us are seeing

hematologists/oncologists......they seem to be dual doctors............but

otherwise a hematologist should be a better bet than a general onc who is

treating all kinds of cancer. They know more about blood disorders.

I hope Zavie or someone can get you the treatment protocol.......I am just

not very good with a computer and saving stuff.

This is one of the articles that mentions the use of Neupogen to

treat low ANC. I'm sure there are others if you want to take the

time to search them.
