Re: Neupogen verses Neulasta?

Becky,
What are the time constraints with the GM-CSF (Leukine) that you angled for? Can you use that in a weekly setting?

Also, I had heard from a doc that the wbc support drugs like neupogen needed multiple weeks between administration to avoid calling out stem cells to rebuild and then having chemo hit them before they calmed back down. Pam's arrangement suggests otherwise. Thoughts?

Some info here: http://breastcancer.about.com/od/lif...lasta_cost.htm
