hi it took me about 7 or 8 shots before it started going up. but when it started it went quickly. hope every thing is well. i will pray for his cure.

Our son was on Neupogen and it wasn't working - he was aplastic.  We switched to a Japanese mushroom treatment that seemed to work better and has scientific studies that prove it.
