Hello to all,
Cancer patients have access to a wonderful called neupogen or nuelasta. This will get your counts up and for god's sake...tell your onc there is no reason to miss chemo when you can take neupogen! ( http://www.cancerbacup.org.uk/Treatm...cGrowthFactors)
Taxol is notorious for kicking the crap out of you blood counts and I always thought the industry standard was to add immune support therapy. I guess this must be up to the patient to suggest. Another compound Becky has recommended is called Leukine. This may have additional immune stimulating qualities.

Good Luck,
Al
