Hi Bonnie,

Neulasta was a "given" for me. They didn't even wait to see what my WBC would do. Standard seems to be 24 hours later, give or take an hour. I had the full shot after tx1 and my WBC shot through the roof (somewhere around 20; normal is 10?). By the time I was back for tx2, my WBC were still up (11). My doctor decided to half the dose in order to alleviate the achiness. If you're having achiness without the chemo, I wonder how much I should attribute to the Neulasta shot.

Still, my main complaint is not the aches but a sensitive tummy. I feel hungry a lot of the time but, as soon as I eat, nothing sits well. No real nausea or vomiting, just a yuck feeling in my stomach.
