Re: Brain mets

Jeana,
Did you dr. consider giving you Neulasta medication?
It is a white blood cell booster.
Many patients have this while on treatment.
Maybe you can call your dr. and ask if you can come in before next week have the Neulasta and hopefully will boost those white cells so that next week you can start treatment.

Sending you a huge hug and huge prayers.
Jean
