Tom,

I chose not to use G-CSF's when I had chemo. It prolonged my chemo by 1 1/2 months (every 4 weeks instead of 3, and dose dense was neither common nor proven at the time). So although being in treatment longer was not a pleasure I decided against using G-CSF's. So far I'm NED at 5 years out from treatment, Stage 1.

At the time there was controversy about use of some of the rbc hemopoietic stimulators.
