Re: Neulasta????
Dose dense chemo does get Neulasta for the reason Sassy stated. My chemo was every three weeks. My onc does not give it for the 3 week chemo schedule unless needed. I did fine the first two treatments and then my white blood cell counts dropped delaying treatment for a few days. After that I had Neulasta each time.
Your labs are done before each treatment. You can get a copy of them just ask your onc or the nurse giving you your treatment. They can explain what the numbers should be.
Sounds like you are doing fine. Good for you!
