I have been trying to find contact information for Dr. J for some time now but just CANT get it for some reason (online I just can't find the RIGHT number).

I need a second opinion on whether I should do ANOTHER 30 weeks of treatment and my doctor advised me to go to Dr. J.  Of course he's out on vacation now and I can't get him - when I saw you post down there I knew I had to ask.

Can you tell me what listing I can call in information or something so I can get an appt?

I am on week 36 and running out of time on this decision.

You are tremendously lucky to be going to him.  I want to SO MUCH = and with my odd circumstances my doctor wants him to take over my treatment now.

Thanks so much.

(Sorry guys...I hate to use a thread but NEED to find this man once and for all I tell ya.  The other "expert" looks good but he AINT DR JACOBSEN.

Glad you got the number for that doc you wanted NYGirl!!hang in there!

Beagle, I havent treated so I have no idea about what you are going through.  I have heard a lot of people that relapse are 3a so I would do all the shots even if it didnt matter.  But your probably in good shape.   Pretty soon, Your going to be feeling a lot better day by day!  And that seems like something to look forward too!  I'm rootin' for you Mister Beagle Bailey!!  :)

IF you will have a CBC next week, maybe wait til you know that number before deciding.  I bet you are probly okay to quit but it sure makes me nervous with all you have been through.  Whatever you decide, we are behind you.

We are some tough crazies us heppers us - why keep these creepy crawlers inside slinking around in our bodies!  yuck yuck gross cooties! OUT OUT OUT!  :)  I need a "cootie catcher" like we used to make in Elementary school to bonk them out of everybody.

You are going to breeze through tx you know.  It might not always be EASY but because you came on the board and asked questions BEFORE you started you are going to know the right things to do to make life easier...and that makes your tx go better. I mean imagine if you DIDNT know to go to the doc for anemia sides and get Epogen? Something like that? My GOD you could be laid OUT before you got there you know?

But because you are already gainning so much knowledge - you are going to be able to handle it and knock it OUT of the park. You watch and see...I am ALWAYS right!  :)

Mission accomplished FINALLY :)

I was beginning to give up. Really. Maybe now I'll have some closure on this decision. maybe he'll say no and then I won't even have to LOL.

Thank you SO MUCH everybody for helping me!

BOZO HAIR, LOL LOL

What ever procrit I have left that I don't use I want to donate it to someone who needs it and has no ins.  I don't want the dr keeping it and then charging someone else for it, do you know what I mean?  
It's so true the knowledge we get from this board and because of you I never got the riba rash because I started using the GOLD BOND before starting tx 3 to 4X's a day like you said.

Thank God for this board and the people on it and you.

I'm going all the way now that I know I can get the procrit every 5 days.  But if I have a problem the last week of tx, I'll cut the riba after the 24th shot.  Like many have pointed out that the HGB is affected by the riba not the shot.

Ohgreat -- Are you going to treat, if so when? What geno type are you?
