Wondering the same. My spouses cancer spread after receiving drugs for anemia. Lost job, health coverage and life insurance. They say cancer kills.....sometimes. Most of the time (my opinion) its the treatment.

"Amgen's Aranesp and Epogen
Johnson & Johnson's Procrit

The drugs treat the blood-disorder anemia in patients with kidney failure and those on chemotherapy. Amgen manufacturers all three, though New Brunswick, N.J.-based J & J sells Procrit."
