Re: Neupogen Shots? Standard With Navelbine?

If you have a viral thing, your counts would actually be UP for that. White blood cells attack foreign bodies, so they increase when you are ill.

I have not been on Navelbine, but had to do Neupogen after my first infusion with TCH. I did not have any reaction to neupogen like some people do. Good luck!

Re: Neupogen Shots? Standard With Navelbine?

Good grief - I take a few months off and you land in the hospital?!? UGH!! NO rest for your worrying mind and soul. Yes, Neupogen with Navelbine was standard fare for me. The Neupogen shots stung like a bee but I was happy with how I felt afterward.
What happened?!?
Love Kim from CT.
