Had my first xofigo injection 3 weeks ago. WBC today is 2.28. Can I get neulasta to help bump this up?

Yes I’ve been taking ZARXIO which is the same for the WBC due to Xofigo. I just finished the last dose on 10/29. Hopefully the numbers start to come back up soon.

Good luck with your treatments. How many have you taken so far?

If you can convince your oncologist and you insurance, sure. But Provenge may be even better. See the section on Xofigo+Immunotherapy in the link below:
