3. If your experience is anything like my wife's......

.....they were taking blood almost every day. Have you had any Neupogen injections? It's so damned expensive, about $200 a drop, but it helps build WBC almost overnight. I was told it would help platelet count too, and it did. You know as well as I that when you are at the nadir of some chemo treatments, you are about as close to death that anyone wants to get. I do believe this drug saved her life....that day. Of course, there was a tussle over whether the insurance would pay for it, so I told them I would pay them for it personally if the insurance refused. I never saw it on a bill, so I assume they did pay for it.
