I am no longer on tx, it failed, but I had to do procrit in the final weeks due to low counts. I don't know if it was because I had been on tx for 5 months or what, but that procrit KICKED my butt! I feel into an extremely deep depression, cried constantly, could not get out of bed, it was really awful for me....think it over carefully, if you are already depressed, as I was, I hope it doesn't take you where it took me. best of all to you. xoxo

Take your procrit, my mom and sister took it and it helps alot and you will feel better and stronger. If you dont they wont give you the treatment. Is pretty good stuff just may give you sore arm.

I had the same problem but not as soon. I needed Procrit (Epogen) after about 10 weeks. I did not like the extra injection idea as well. But the drug worked so well and with red cell counts slowly returning to normal I began to feel so much better. If red blood cell counts get to low you will have to do a blood transfusion to remain on treatments. I would recomend using the Procrit if it is made availible to you.
Note: I was also having to do daily injections of Neupogen to help boost white blood cell counts. This also worked very well and helped me to stay strong while on treatments.
