Hypocomplimentemia

Can anyone help? The doctors have no ansers. My wive just finished a bout of 61 radiation treatments and 3 infusions of chemo for tonsil and right lymphnoid squaimous cell cancer. The cancer is gone( thank God). She has RA and an a low Immune system. I give her a shot of nupragen weekly for the low white bood cell count, but nobody knows what to do about her low comp level.

what is a low comp level?
I took a weekly shot of neupogen for low WBC-I didn't see where it helped it go up (for me)

Complementry level is a series of chemical that the body makes for your imune system, when it's low it's called hypocompimentemia. Very rare condition,most doctors don't even know. My wife gets a shot of 100 micro grams of neuprogen and keeps her WBC numbers in check above 3.
