November 16, 2013.. We made the two trips to the hospital today and got the injections of 600 mcg of Neupogen each time. I also received a liter of saline due to low blood pressure again. The APN told me Thursday she was planning on taking the Neupogen to the maximum dosage on Sunday or Monday. I have not mentioned the cost of these injections but each vial is between $2,000 and $3,000. I am now receiving 4 vials each day.

My white cell count today was 0.36, hemoglobin-8.9, platelets-25. 

I have created a graphic that shows my white cell counts after chemo treatment during my visit here in April, in June and this time. I put the information together thinking I can use the April visit as a predictor of white cell counts during this visit since I received basically the same chemo in April as I did this time. To make the comparison the same, I used the day after the chemo stopped as day one on the chart. As you can see, the numbers have been very close to the same during the April visit and this time. I will keep the chart updated and post again in a couple of days.
