Thank you Cinnamon Girl for the response.  Zlikster,  I don't have any of his numbers, as his nurse practitioner tells me over the phone each week whether something

is low or high, and I just trust her with the information.  All I know is that the Neupogen was on hold to be maybe ordered if his WBC continued to get lower, but this week

the nurse told us it got higher and that we don't need it at this time.  My husband did not do anything differently this past week, his WBC just happened to go up.

;D great news! Do you know any WBC numbers (start of therapy, drop, rebounce?) i am just curious, since i am having same issues, and seems that each doc has it's own "limits" how much to push patient before Neupogen injections

your husband is lucky (well gt lucky) to have GT 2 HCV, that is the easiest genotype of them all!

best

That is good news, Carol!  Good to hear it`s going well for your husband, and fingers crosed for an UND result at 8 weeks.  You`re doing a great job posting here on his behalf, he`s a lucky man to have you by his side!  smile  ~ Jill

Found out good news today that my husband's white blood count went up, so we don't have to use the Neupogen just

quite yet.  Things are looking good, especially since he was UND at 4 weeks and we are hoping for the same at 8 weeks.

He is not having any signficant side effects as well.  Praying that things continue to go well!!!
