Hello,
I, too, did dose dense A/C and Taxol (every other week) and received a Neulasta shot 24 hours after that day's chemo. I never experienced low counts and could always take my chemo on schedule. Also, I stayed healthy throughout. I believe other factors played into that as well, but I believe the Neulasta helped. I did experience shoulder and neck pain from the Neulasta but would still recommend it.
Although, another member of this site (who may post a reply when she sees your post) would recommend Leukine (I think that is the spelling but Becky please correct me if I'm wrong). It works on the same order as Neulasta although better. Becky can further explain.
Good luck to you. God keep you safe and protected throughout chemo.
Mary Jo
