Hi John the GCSF injections are growth hormones , the same ones used to encourage stem cell prodution before harvesting As for Bendamustine I am afraid I dont know another name for it , in fact I dont know a lot about it at all really. Tina has replied to your post , she and Patrick are much more knowledgeable than I am and I an sure she will be able to help. Thank you for your kind words ,mind you never been a pillar before though been called a plank many times!!Tee-hee love Bridget
