I was thinking about this and have a further
question. If Cedes' blood values return to normal
after an Epogen injection, why would we need to do
additional testing? It seems we could continue
the injections and check his blood on a regular
(?) basis. I guess I'm thinking that if a certain
treatment takes care of a problem why would you
keep on testing? I'm sure I'm missing something
here and would love additional input.
