Since my first tx, and I am still sicker than I ever have been in my life. I'm running a fever for 4 days now, sick to my stomach, extremely tired, etc etc.
I called the oncologist today and he gave me some vicodin for joint pain(that's the least of my problems) from the Neulasta shot. My question is, is it supposed to be this bad? I knew it was not going to be easy, but I never dreamed it would knock me down like this.

I hate to complain, but I really think something is wrong.
