Sara, a recent college graduate, shares her experience with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation. From day one of her filgrastim injections through donation, Sara shares firsthand how she’s feeling and what donation means to her.\r
\r
For 5 days leading up to donation, PBSC donors are given injections of a drug called filgrastim to increase the number of bloodforming cells in their bloodstream. The bloodforming cells are then collected through a process called apheresis.

Filgrastim is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of infection in people receiving strong chemotherapy that decreases the number of infectionfighting white blood cells known as neutrophils. Filgrastim belongs to a group of drugs called colony stimulating factors, which stimulate the body to produce neutrophils.
This medication comes in an injectable form that is given just under the skin or directly into a vein (IV), usually once a day.
Common side effects include bone pain and muscle pain.

Dr. Miller talks about the risks and side effects of filgrastim


Filgrastim stimulates the marrow to make more bloodforming cells and moves them from the marrow into the blood stream. This process has been in place since the mid 1990’s to aid in PBSC donation. Less than 1 percent (0.6 percent) of donors experience serious side effects. The data Be The Match collects from donors helps establish if there are any positive or negative effects from receiving filgrastim. Based on available data from approximately 20,000 donors who have received filgrastim, no late appearing risks have been found.
Common side effects of filgrastim include
• Headache
• Bone or muscle pain
• Nausea
• Trouble sleeping
• Tiredness and
• Decrease in blood platelet count
Less common side effects of filgrastim include
• Allergic reactions
• Rapid heart rate
• Dizziness
• Shortness of breath
• Itching or rash and
• Eye swelling
And although they’re uncommon, it’s also important to be aware of the Rare side effects and risks of filgrastim, which are:
• Shortness of breath and chest pain [not read by physician, but appear on screen: (1 in 3,000)]• Bleeding of the spleen (1 in 5,000)
• Bleeding in the head (1 in 5,000) and
• Blood vessel swelling (1 in 5,000)
Side effects of filgrastim usually disappear one or two days after the last dose of the drug. Most PBSC donors report full recovery within seven to ten days of donation. Until then, donors can take nonaspirin products such as Tylenol®, Motrin®, or Advil®. Donors should avoid heavy lifting and contact sports until one week after the donation.
