I was transfusion free for 2 & 1/2 years on this drug. Wish it worked longer for me. Mild constipation was my only issue.

I am on my 4th cycle, haven't had a blood or platelet tranfusion in 2 months, used to have every week, sometimes twice.white blood cells decreased somewhat, but my doctor is very pleased with the overall results. my worst side effect is soreness at injection site, redness and blistering, and constipation.
