Docetaxel starting mid-Dec, insurance doesn't pay for Neulasta to keep white blood cell count good. Uh..pandemic anybody?
I know the risk of infection during chemo is bad, but I think it's tons worse given the pandemic (I have a kid in college in the house as well). 2) Would you go into debt to pay for
Neulasta
(or equivalent white blood cell magic) out of pocket (it'd be like buying a luxury car)? Advice? Opinions?

Effects after Docetaxel, Eligard, and Neulasta treatment.
He then has the shot of
Neulasta
around 24 hours after leaving hospital (Friday 08/21 around 7 PM). When he woke up on Saturday morning he has been in severe pain since, he’s having difficultly walking. He says the bottom of his spine and his hips are hurting. Has anyone experienced this?

Next step: Jevtana or Xofigo?
He tolerated Docetaxal decently (honestly, the worst thing about it was the
Neulasta
which caused awful bone pain until we figured out the right Claritin + painkiller combo). My inclination is that Jevtana would be the better of the two options for dad.

Thank you!
I want to thank those who replied to my post about
Neulasta
. Your experiences helped me prepare for side effects. Day 3 and I've had mild bone pain, dizziness, and some nausea. Am taking Advil for pain and it helps. Hope this helps jumpstart my WBC so I can complete my final infusion.

Why hasn't MO recommended Provenge? Ideas? He has extensive bone mets (is that it?)Almost no pain. Also 2 questions - clinical trial and PET
Therefore, he started Cabazitaxel last Tuesday plus
Neulasta
. So far no side effects -- hoping this continues.

neulasta
, and zometa at the same time, starting on Monday of next week.

Venetoclax and low white count
I wanted the
neulasta
shot and the doctor refused saying he wouldn't give it until the count dropped to .50. I'm very nervous about catching something although I'm by myself except to have my blood checked twice a week at the infusion room at the hospital.

experiencing side effects from neulasta
HI I HAVE SAGE 3 OVARIAN CANCER AND AM EXPERIENCING BAD SIDE EFFECTS. THEY LAST FOR ABOUT A WEEK AFTER INJECTION. I TAKE A GENERIC CLAIRITIN (WAL-TRIN NO DOSE) AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL.

If you want to learn about CLL text or video
Your specialist may prescribe Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) injections (
Neulasta
, Neupogen, Filgrastim, Zarzio, etc). These are injected into the subcutaneous stomach skin via a very fine needle and boost neutrophil production.

Update
Started
neulasta
and took a Claritin during treatment. WBC, RBC and hemoglobin still low but manageable. After chemo PSA was 0.085. Still on Lupron. Had PET scan with F-18 that showed no ca in prostate or anywhere else. Dr did bone scan that showed improved bone scan with no new lesions.

How low does my wbc have to be for me not to get my Halaven injection?
I can't take
Neulasta
since it could trigger my leukemia to come back. How high does it have to be?

Problems with Neulasta after IVIG and in Ibrutinib
Neutrophils dropped over the last couple of months while on IBN so my doctors gave me a shot of
Neulasta
. I have ended up with weeks or achy bones, problems breathing, enhanced neuropathy and mouth sores, which are like blood blisters.

First Chemo - Advice/Suggestions
(for
Neulasta
pains) 3) Keep a check for fever above 100. Please do let me know if there is anything more I need to be prepared with. Should we fast or have a healthy meal? Thank you :)
