Neulasta & bone pain now?
Since I found out about Neulasta after landing in the hospital for 10 long days in Feb...and almost add an extra month of MISSING my chemo so my lungs could recover from that low wbc. I now get my Neulasta, Procrit, and even Iron IV infusions.
But the first two times with my NEW oncologist I got the Neulasta when my counts were down a "little". This last time...meaning last week...my wbc was GOOD for a change. But she had me come in for a neulasta shot the next day anyway?
I have heard that Neulasta CAN cause bad bone pain. I was very lucky as the first two times I had Neulasta I had NO bone pain. Although I was expecting it. But NOW this time when my wbc was up where it should be...I had my Neulasta and I am having serious bone pain tonight!! The last two days actually.
Why would they give me the Neulasta when my wbc was still good? I did have the hercetpin, Taxotere, and Carbpotin on Monday...do they just assume it will get bad so they do the neulasta anyway? Just seems funny I had NO bone pain when my counts were actually low...now that it was in a good range...I am HURTING so BAD I could cry tonight.
Anyway...been where I am?
