Znowu jakaś nową decyzja, mezowi będą podawać przez trzy dni jakieś zastrzyki na odporność, musi zostać w szpitalu.
Decyzja nie jest nowa, przeciez poprzednio napisalas:
Jednak przyjechała obejrzeć męża asystentka doktora prowadzącego. Zadecydowała o podaniu zastrzyku podnoszącego leukocyty.
Być może podadzą jeszcze jeden zastrzyk przed chemioterapią, być może zmniejsza dawkę.
A zastrzyki nie jakies, tylko zapewne Neupogen (= filgrastim)

Neulasta vs. Neupogen for Neutropenia During Chemotherapy
Advantages and Disadvantages of Two Commonly Used Treatments

You may be asked to choose between the drugs Neulasta and Neupogen when undergoing chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy can cause your white blood cell counts to drop, which puts you at risk of infection. Neutropenia (a low level of one of the types of white blood cells) is treated with Neulasta or Neupogen which not only lower the risk of infection, but can offer the opportunity to use higher doses of chemotherapy (and in doing so, may reduce the risk of recurrence of some cancers).
What are the important differences between Neulasta and Neupogen that can help you and your doctor choose the medication that's best for you?
Differences Between Neulasta and Neupogen
Neulasta and Neupogen are both made of a natural protein known as granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (or "G-CSF").
Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) has a polyethylene glycol, "PEG," unit added to it, which makes the molecule larger so that it stays in your system longer than filgrastim (Neupogen).
In the human body, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor is responsible for stimulating the production and release of neutrophils from the bone marrow. In essence, using these medications can be thought of as adding to the body's natural production when a rapid increase in neutrophils is needed.
How Many Injections per Chemo Cycle Do I Need?
=> Neulasta is given once for each cycle of high-dose chemotherapy, at least 24 hours after a chemotherapy infusion, and no sooner than 14 days before your next infusion.
=> Neupogen is given in several injections on a daily basis until your neutrophil counts come back to normal levels. You may need just three or four shots of Neupogen, or as many as 10, depending on how well your system responds to the drug.
