Chelee,
I'm so sorry that you have to go through all this. I'm amazed that no one on this board had not received the shots. I know when I was going through chemo (neoadjunct) my blood counts always went way low but my platlets seemed okay. While I was on chemo I got procrit shots the day of chemo and then evey week to bring up the red blood cells and neulasta shots the day after chemo to bring up the white blood cells. My chemo was delayed once for a week because my counts were so low.
I think if I were you I'd try and find another oncologist. There is nothing worse than your doc not seeing you when you are having a real problem. Hang in there and good luck!!!
