How effective is Neupogen (filgrastim)? How often or long is it taken?

@jeis68, as you already know, filgrastim injection is used to treat neutropenia (low white blood cells) that is caused by cancer medicines. This medicine is also used to help the bone marrow recover after a bone marrow transplantation, for a process called peripheral blood progenitor cell collection in cancer patients, and to improve survival in cancer patients who have been exposed to radiation.
The length of your treatment depends on the condition that you have and how well your body responds to the medication.
You can learn more here:

I'm also tagging fellow members like @loribmt @rrivory @jackiez who can share their experiences with filgrastim (Neupogen).
@jeis68, has filgrastim been recommended for you? Are you currently receiving cancer treatments?
