Twelve weeks is a very long time. Way to go! I am two weeks post treatment and my white cells are still pretty low. Doctor assures me they will normalize before my next labs, which will be four weeks post. Can't wait to be back among the living and lose my zombie blood stats. My doc never prescribed neupogen, but I hit the Procrit pretty hard during weeks 10-16.

12 weeks und! Low white count (2.2) now. Lowered interferon does, gave me a shot of Neopogen which I'll start taking till blood gets back to where it should be. Then they up the Peg again. Not worried though because I've read that people on this site have gone through this before me. Okay, got a little concerned when I realized that it was manufactured by Amgen in which I own zero stock. I was really hoping that somehow my crappy Facebook stock had found a way manufacture pharmacuticals.
