Re: Half Way Through Chemo
Hi Ginny, Halfway there is alot better than not having started. It's not fun but it sure saves alot of lives. Those Neulasta shots are pretty rough. I hurt so bad from them. I refused the last one I was supposed to have because I just couldn't take the bone pain anymore. I hope the 2nd half of your treatment goes well and quickly. Have a wonderful holiday season! Best wishes. Mary L
