I receive taxol/carbo/herceptin 3 wks on/1 wk off, and have for almost 5 cycles now, and I haven't needed a shot of Neulasta because my blood counts haven't dropped down to the point that I needed it. I don't think it is just automatically given every time unless you are receiving a dose dense regimen or your counts drop every time.
