Quick question re: Neulesta

When do you recieve your injection, those of you receiving Neulesta? Yesterday, at my 3rd round of TCH, they determined I needed to receive it for the first time. They planned on giving the injection immediatly following the chemo.But I had literature with me (good patient advocate for myself!) and it said to not administer it until 24 hours AFTER chemo. So I said I preferred to not receive it then and will go back in today. I live very close.

Also I see it causes bone pain which is the last thing I need. That is already my worst symptom from the chemo itself...
Ah well......
