Low Hemoglobin ??
by pnlp, May 15, 2002 12:00AM
Hubby has been on tx for 22 weeks now - 2 weeks left. He has been on Neupogen for 4 weeks because of low wbc. His latest labs show low hemoglobin - 10.4 He also feels really bad. He has tried to get up and do something and breaks out into a sweat, gets woosy and feels like he's going to throw up. After laying down w/ice pack this passes but then he is really 'hammered'. He started the tx at 205 and is now down to 170. He is on 6 Rebetrol a day and .5 Interferon (1500 - I think that's the dose)
Does anyone have any experience w/low hemoglobin? From what I've read he should have his rebetrol reduced. The doc is out of town till tomorrow - great. The person who gave me the lab results said that the hemoglobin was circled on the lab test but she doesn't know what that means. I am going to try to get hold of a nurse today.
Thanks - everyone here is so great ! To be helping others slay this dragon..... you are all a godsend!
Keep the faith,
Paula
