Low red blood cell count

I was in a similar position last year when I was on AC. I ended up having neulasta and aranesp. My husband would give me both shots at home the evening of my treatment. I tried to avoid another shot but my doctor told me there was nothing I could do as far as diet. I do not recall any bad side effects from the aranesp. It is better to take the meds then have to delay treatment in my mind.

I hope the remainder of your treatment goes well for you

I had to get the shots while i was doing treatments, and though they aren't low enough to warrant the shots any longer my rbc is still low. I've found that taking pre-natal vitamins helps some.
