Thanks for the update.

I just want to point out what I feel to be the most important part of the warning:

The warnings also stress there is no evidence that the same risks are present for patients taking ESAs to reach lower targets than 12 g/dL, which is believed to be the more common level reached in clinical practice, said the FDA

I have had and continue to have problems with my red blood counts (also white and platlets) while receiving chemo. I get Procrit shots every week but my oncologist is not trying to raise my hemoglobin above 12. With the Procrit shots my hemoglobin is maintaining at around 9.8. I would hate to think what it would be without the Procrit. I've also tried the Arnasep shots but they did not work. I'm just thankful that I can get the Procrit in order to avoid a transfusion.
