Hi Chelee,

I received Neulasta two days after each chemo. Every three weeks I would get chemo (CAF) on Monday and get Neulasta on Wednesday. Although I had Neulasta after the first chemo, I had developed rash, infection, fever etc. by that weekend. I had to have boosters 2 times the following week (for white count) along with antibiotic, powder and ointment. After that I had one or two bouts wih boosters for the white counts and I think also 2 times for the red. I think it was the 3rd and 5th rounds. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hugs,

Liz J.
