Husband took first shot of Peg on Monday and started Riba on Monday. Went for CBC this morning, doc called and said Neutraphil was at .3 She says husband can take shot again at full does on Sunday night and "see what happens" at blood test on next Thursday AM or he can decrease dose to .3 Peg.
She says he has increased risk of infection but that it is his decision to postpone any lower doosing until next week. This is his FIRST week, what's up? Is this normal for it to drop with the first shot then rise again? Doc says that it may fluctuate up and down and may rise on it's own as his body adjusts to the second shot?? Help, what to do. Hubby is early, early stage 4, Geno 1 for over 25 years, low viral count (under 500,000), looking to get rid of the Hep C and help his Liver. Other than that he's strong, healthy, normal weight, only other illness is psoriassis.
