My treatment day is being moved up from Friday to Thursday to accommodate getting a Nuelasta shot. I had been getting the Zarxio shots (5 shots, starting 5 days after chemo, administered at home). The Zarxio shots havent worked. I ended up with stage 4 neutropenia each cycle. Apparently that isn't good. Of course my cheap insurance won't cover the on-body Nuelasta which is why I will have to go back to the oncology office for the shot. But hopefully this shot will work. It did in 2014 so I anticipate it will again.
