Re: Half Way Through Chemo

Ginny - is there a reason you must have the Neulasta shot - here in Canada they don't just give it to everyone as it is not usually necessary.
I had my blood checked before every chemo, my counts were fine and I never needed the shots. Of course if your counts are too low, the shot would be administered.

Ask your onc. to test your blood counts, maybe you don't need the shots.

all the best
