I'm not sure if it was your post Peg, but there was a discussion on this topic today. I didn't do the 5 Fu, but my understanding is that you don't do Epirubicin with herceptin at the same time. Especially if you have heart issues.

Re Neulasta, well it shouldn't be automatic. I would have my CBC the day before chemo. If that showed low wbc, they would schedule nuelasta. I only did one. Cure was worse than the disease. Your wbc's will always go down with chemo but they almost always go back up again after. Unless your count goes into the basement, you may be able to skip the neulasta. I guess you'll have to try it once. It all depends on your specifics. Good Luck, BB
