I am on my second shot of 24 pegintron/ribavirin.My white blood cells went from 2900 to 1200 in one week. The doctor said if it goes below 1000 then he will reduce dose on my 3rd shot. Not a very good start.
I have heard about Neupogen, which is supposed to increase white blood cells. Is this expensive??? How much will I need if my white blood cells drop more? I am in Thailand and and paying for all this myself. I could not wait for Obama's big insurance plan. My whole 24 weeks here will cost $10,000 includes all tests and doctor care. Way cheaper than USA. I live in Thailand anyway.
Now the white blood cell thing. I have heard neupogen costs a lot. Any feedback out there.
