I am not campaigning against Neupogen or its bio equivalence. I found this web video promoting Neupogen. I saw this doctor's name appear in several blogs as well.

I don't want to use Neupogen. I try to recruit people to join my side so that I can justify my decision on not using Neupogen. It seems nobody is joining me yet.
First potential recruit:
I told my ivf doctor, that I refuse to use Neupogen as prescribed by the hematologist. He said "Neupogen is mainly used in cases where IVIG or LIT have failed in the past. If you feel uncomfortable with it, then maybe you shouldn't use it at least for this cycle of treatment." Hmm... Sounds like he plans to use it in the future ya! One hour later, he emailed "He (hematologist) probably feels that given your immune record, it maybe helpful."
Second potential recruit:
A pharmacologist/toxicologist.
He said all medicines have some risks. if the benefit outweighs the risk go for it. With or without gscf cancer may occur. One or two shots of gcsf may not cause cancer. He has a point!
Third potential recruit:
I want to try my beloved immunologist(Phils) as my third potential recruit. ^.^ Hehehe
Who else?
My concern is Neupogen may cause cancer! Why not talk to my hematologist? After all, he is also a hematological oncologist. Times like this, I need to make my own stand. After all, this is my body.
