They will be sending neupogen for low white cells. It is a "stinger", so expect some light stinging at injection time. Several of our members are using it. It seems to do the job, and will alow you to do the propoer dose of pegasys.

TX affects different folks differnetly, don't know why. I started weekly labs at week 6. Everything was dropping, red and white. At week 17, riba was reduced because of the reds. The whites kind of leveled off at that time, up one week, down the next, so the peg was left alone. Your situation looks fairly normal (for us).
