Hi Eileen,
So i have been in Pegasys for 3 months now. I inject once a week and use only 1/4th of a 180m vial which is standard size. This is a starter dose and my hemo may raise. I have my 3rd blood draw tomorrow. I started at 950 platelet count and went to 900 then 869. My only side effects are less sounds sleep, but I have more energy and less itching. So, so far, pleased with the drug overall. It is very $ as it is a tier 5 immunotherapy drug. I like that over a chemo drug like Hydroxy. One builds, one tears down, or at least that's what it sounds like to me. Hope your decision gives you a better pathway to healing. I'll post my numbers as this will be 3 months of data...be well!
