    When Lee was first DX. we tried Procrit/Neup. for 3 months with no results. I believe I heard in Denver that once pt. started on Desperol some pts. respond. At any rate we have restarted Proc. 1 month ago and he has gone 4 weeks thus far. Anyone have any exper. with this or heard what I heard?

    is the desperol pump for Iron. My husband is on Procrit and it seems to be working, But he does not have Iron Overload which is usually from a lot of transfusions, sorry I did not understand your questions

    Terri, I’ve been away for a few days. Lee is on the pump 5 days a week for 8 hours each night.
