Aranesp

My oncologist gave me a shot of Aranesp during my last visit. My HGB had dropped to 8.6 and the RBC to 2.52. Has anyone else been given this medication? Like most drugs, there is a long list of side effect for Aranesp including heart issues.My oncologist gave me a shot of Aranesp during my last visit. My HGB had dropped to 8.6 and the RBC to 2.52.

Drop in haemoglobin

I take iron tablets and Aranesp injections to increase my Hb levels. I’m waiting for Addenbrookes to get back to me next week, but just wondered if this had happened to anyone else.
