Karen's Experience
Karen, a YCS board member, submitted the following experience about her
husband Mark:
Procrit seemed to help with raising Mark's red-blood-cell counts, though
it takes a few weeks, longer than Neupogen for the white cells. Procrit
caused some bone pain, though less pain than Neupogen. Injection-site discomfort
was similar to Neupogen.
Matt's Experience
Matt,a YCS board member, submitted the following experience about his wife
Kara:
Kara received weekly injections of Procrit. So far they have not resulted
in a quick rebound of her red blood cells. Her bone marrow may be too "wiped
out." We have not experienced any adverse side effects.
