Incivek and Procrit?

Incivek and Procrit?

my hemoglobin is tanked and I have 8 units of Procrit sitting in my fridge.  My hep nurse tells me that they have no trial data on using Procrit with Incevik for it was not used during the trials and they are unsure what the side effects (if any) will be.  Every week they keep telling me to hang in there for another week even though my hemo is at or around 9.5.  I have to admit I am a bit nervous adding another drug to the mix not knowing what the outcome will be so I haven't pushed the issue yet.  I treated for 48 weeks using the SOC and had to use Procrit then.  It was fine I had no issues.  But it is not to be compared for at the time I was not using Incevik.  My question is this - Is anoyone on Incevik using Procrit and if so what is the outcome?  Thanks Sunny

Worked wonders for me.  I would have had to stop treatment if not for procrit.  Started at week 5   40,000   have gone from every three days to now once a week.  my hgb got down below 8.5.    and yes I was on incivek.  now at week 20 and doing ok "physically"  mentally, another story. "Brain Fog"   Not from procrit.
