My husband has RAEB and has been prescribed Procrit. Anyone used this, any side effects, did it help stimulate red blood cells, etc? Thanks as always.

Yes, I’ve been on Procrit 40,000 units for 3 years without any side effects but each person is different. In June my blood levels were not rising so I had blood transfusions in June & July. The doctor raised my Procrit to 60,000 units a month ago. this week I am struggling to feel well & I think my blood levels are low again. I go back to the doctor 9/6 and will see how I’m doing.

Greetings Sylvia,

Have been on Procrit since June with my one and only rbc transfusion that month. Two months of platelet transfusions but not this month 😀 perhaps the Vidaza is working ;).
