Question 4

can my husband have a glass of wine now that he has finished his neupogen injections?

Accepted Answer

Review this with: his doc, as alcohol can have bone marrow toxicity.  Granted a single glass isn't much, but depending on why your husband needs Neupogen and what other medication he is on or soon to be on, your husband's doctor(s), may want him to abstain.

Question 8

: Nupogen is one of the drugs than can stimulate the bone marrow to produce platelets as well other cells formed in the bone marrow, e.g. red and white cells.

Question 9

congenital neutropenia patient since birth. had bone marrow biopsy 3mths ago normal but blood levels were disrupted due to neupogen use 2yrs ago stopped taking neupogen 1yr ago. rbc are normal but platelet are very low 114uk. could this be mds or aml?

Accepted Answer

: I believe that your bone marrow biopsy has ruled out MDS &amp; AML.  You don't mention what your wbc &amp; differential count is.  You appear to have idiopathic mild thrombocytopenia but a platelet count of 114,000 is sufficient to keep you out of harm's way with respect to clotting ability. Your hematologist is best to advise you.

Question 10

what causes you to have dark chocolate allergies?

Accepted Answer

Milk or peanut: Allergy to chocolate is usually a reaction to milk or a nut/peanut ingredient.  True chocolate allergy to the cacao bean is unusual but seen more common in workers who process the beans rather than consumers who eat chocolate.
