usually just a few shots of Neupogen does the trick, still be careful and make those burgers medium/well done Wash fruit and veggies well and peel the skin or at least cut away the stem portion. And be careful about take out food, we're still not there yet, except for a pizza that goes directly into the box and is not cut ... and expensive restaurants where they most likely cook the food to order. Hopefully you'll not have to worry about that for too long! Neupogen is the drug they give to stem cell donors to stimulate the marrow before donating and then also give patients going through intense chemo and after transplant to push the white cells to perform when the neutophils are zero, Neulasta is a longer acting form of Neupogen.

Glad to hear she is arguing with the staff and that you have some exercise equipment at home. Try and take care of yourself as well
