Aransep. . .I believe that is the injection I had a couple of times following treatment to bring my hemo count back up. I have been trying to remember the name and knew that it started with letter "A". I had 2 such injections about 2 or 3 weeks apart and the billed amount from the hospital to my insurance company was $6,000 for each shot! Aetna actually paid about $4800 as I recall. It was also one of the more painful injections I can ever recall having. It did the trick as far as bringing up the count.
