How long had Randy been on 800 mgs? I have since June 2006. I usually end up with a neulasta shot once a month. I just go over a bad case of the flu (yuck) and I had labs yesterday and my anc was 1.3. When I get to 1 I get the shot. I think the highest it's ever been after a shot was 2.9. At one point my Mayo doc was letting me get down to .5 and I was never heathier, kinda strange. My hemoglobin has been low but talking with people I guess this is normal being on such a high dose. I had another FISH drawn and sent to Mayo Clinic yesterday so I should know results from that next week. Last FISH was 3.8% 6 weeks ago down from 68% in May. So, I'm really hopig when my doc calls she tells me I'm at 0 that would be great since this has been such a roller coaster since last summer 2005 when I was diagnosed. I guess I've ben pretty lucky as far as side effects go I really haven't had any and if I get them they come and go and are usually short lived and mild. Good luck to Randy and take care of yourselves.
