marym Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi All, I had labs and chemo yesterday - I was worried about my platlets, but they were okay. Has anyone had nuemega to treat low platelets? What was not okay was red blood cells - they were really low, even though I had a shot to boost them 2 weeks earlier. They took more blood to test for iron. Let me know if anyone has had similar problems. Thanks. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Q Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Are you thinking of Neupogen? I think both my mom (NSCLC)and dad (he has melanoma)had Neupogen. I think they both had "bone flare" pain from it. But it seems it was used for neutropenia, or low neutrophils (one type of white blood cell). Hope your counts come up soon! ~Suz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
