Re: Update on Paula/Cancer Fightin' Words
Even a couple of neupogen shots may help you out greatly. You have to have 24 to 48 hours between a neupogen shot and chemo but 3 or 4 may do the trick. You can't have neulasta because they last 10 days. This is why that is given if your chemo cycles are 2 to 3 weeks apart. Otherwise, you could ask about a 2 week schedule of which you would get more drug but could have neulasta which will bring you back to GO in 2 weeks time.
Love and hugs to you.
