Hi Karen,
I'm so happy today is done and you "sailed through it." Yahoo!!!!
As for Neulasta, I had that shot the day after chemo also. The Neulasta shot (I think) kept my blood counts "awesome" throughout my 8 cycles of dose dense A/C & Taxol along with herceptin. Never once did I have low blood counts. I'm assuming that was because of Neulasta (and of course God's hand). Neulasta does (or at least caused me) shoulder pain and quite a bit of that. My onc. nurse told me though to be thankful for that as it meant I had good marrow. So everytime I was achin' I would thank God - (man that was tough - hahahahaha)
So, good luck. Keep us posted please.
Love & God's Peace I pray you,
Mary Jo
