Hi Rosemary: My doctor never suggested Procrit, and I know someone who was
taken off the Procrit with her CML because of possible tumors. You know you
just do not know what to believe or what to do half the time. I have had a low
HGB, HCT, RBC, all these years, and my oncologist said he was not giving me
anything until I really dropped low. They have stayed stable. Thank You
Suzzie

Hi,
I had the same problem. It doesn't make sense but for people like us this is
off label use. Basically the company never did studies in leukemia so it is
not on the label. I was at my Hem/Onc the other day and the last time my hem
was normal was due to Procrit. You can try sending them you lab values on and
off Procrit.
