Re: GM-CSF as therapy

"I had to put up with the 4 months of that which is a pain in the butt."
Amazing. Butt pain is a good sign too?
Thanks for the details. I didn't realize it was different from Neupogen. Do you think this is a better way to recover wbc? (I have heard concern over wbc creating stem cells being activated too close to chemo, which then kills them.) I was actually thinking, if there wasn't a downside, that it would be a perfect compliment to longer interval chemos and breaks between chemos. Sounds like you had it pretty close to your Taxol. Did your onc come up with this approach?
