The book begins just after one of his chemotherapy treatments, when Victor is headed out on a journey, experiences a low white blood cell count, and then receives a drug to boost his white blood cell count back up to a normal level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChemotherapy patients typically experience a low point in their white blood cell count after each treatment. The low point is called the nadir, and it often occurs at about day 7 after treatment. Many chemotherapy patients receive a drug (either as a shot or a patch) called pegfilgrastim, which stimulates the production of white blood cells, and thus results in raising the white blood cell count. Pegfilgrastim is a longer-acting version of the earlier generation drug filgrastim. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule is attached to the filgrastim, resulting in pegfilgrastim, which does not get filtered out of the human body as quickly and is therefore a longer-acting drug. Pegfilgrastim is the generic name of the drug, which is sold under many brand names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd now let us go together with Victor on his journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fulton Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639857258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.05d","brand":"Gail Louise Dempsey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42720852377781,"sku":"9781639857258","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2ed5d2e4-1efc-4c49-a496-8dbed178bd0d.jpg?v=1675180071","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/day-7-9781639857258","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
