Sandy,

 

Neupogen will raise your white counts.  I had to have neupogen shots for awhile, but now I don’t need them anymore.  I think your body adjusts to the higher Gleevec dose.  I have been on and off (for short time periods) the Gleevec many times in the last five and a half years.

Hi Jeanie,Thanks you, Randy's onc always told him not to ever miss one dose of his gleevec,but he is no longer here.He moved back to India,so now we have to rely on the hematologist that is there.Scares me to death as she is named in 3 law suits for over aggressive cancer treatment.His new Dr. won't be here until July. Maybe when he gets over this cold he has, his counts will get better.Sandy

Hi Sandy,

When I first started Gleevec my counts dropped to low and I was taken off of it for a while; just until they came back up.

Hi everyone,I have a question about Anc counts.Randy went for blood work today,because of raising his gleevec to 600mg.His WBC was 3.0...RBC 4.22..PLT235.His anc was0.8.He has to go back Wednesday to recheck it.The Dr. said if it got any lower they might have to back off of the gleevec a little bit.I thought there was some kind of shot they could give you to raise your  WBC,or is that just your platelets? Sorry I am not very smart about this stuff,but I am learning a lot from this group,Thank you all,Sandy
