Folfox has left me with really low counts and instead of having treatments every 2 weeks, they have been every 4 weeks. The docs have already reduced the treatment by 20% and may reduce it again.
I hear that Filgrasting (G-CSF or neutropin) can boost the white cell count. Has anyone been taking this? I am trying to justify to the docs that I would rather fight hard for 6 months then reduce the meds again and raising the chance of this coming back. I am 34, stage III, single mom with two young children. Short term pain for long term gain is my motto.
Any thoughts?
Sharon
