Anybody experience rash and fever after docetaxel and neulasta?
My father had radiation that overlapped his docetaxel treatments. He got very sick from it. Developed rash, fever of 101.3. Lost 24 pounds blood count below 2900 and very low iron and potassium to the point of blood transfusions and hospitalization. The dr said was the combo of two radiation and

What Dosages are Recommended?
Had
Neulasta
injections after cycles 2 - 5 and will have again next cycle. PSA dropped to 0.8 by 3 weeks ago (will be measured again in 2 days time). ALP (was elevated), ALT and GGT all well within normal range. LDH a little elevated since 3rd cycle of chemo.

Husband Just Diagnosed
He is receiving firmagon, xgeva and has finished his 2nd round of docetaxal and
neulasta
one day after chemo. Chemo is giving him joint pains, tired and feeling of being unwell. He's still working and doing things around the house and yard work.

Muscle Spasms - Not dehydrated
Post round five FCR with

Interesting Thought....maybe it's the Lupron.
The first Chemo I did..they put the "
Neulasta
" Onpro onto me....on the Friday of treatment. When they called me to "see how I was doing" on Monday...I was doubled over in pain...wishing I could find my "plug" so I could pull it. "Oh, they didn't tell you to take Claritin?"

First Week Following First Chemo
At the conclusion, I received a
Neulasta
shot. So, my experience to date - first 2 or 3 days I had strange aches and pains in my legs, but only below the knees. Also had other pains in the hips. I was told this is a side effect of the
Neulasta
and that Claritin helps manage these side effects.

First Day Of Rituxan and Bendamustine
I return for balance of bendamustine today, and go Wednesday for platelets and
Neulasta
. I was seriously afraid of side effects, and then. so far, had none. Don't know whether keto helped, but have to believe it did, as I had 2 stents put in iliac arteries the week prior.

Newbie with questions
I’m treating with Firmagon and Xgeva every 4 weeks, casodex and prednisone daily, docetaxel and
neulasta
every 3 weeks. Plan is to add Zytiga after we finish the 6 docetaxel treatments. I wouldn’t wish Docetaxel on my worst enemy, but i’m over half finished.

Primary Peritoneal Cancer
He suggested 2 more Chemo treatments to clean those up, I told him I wanted to do three more, even though I had to have a
neulasta
shot and hydration after my chemo treatments, my body withstood the treatments pretty well. I had my 9th and last treatment on September 13, 2017.

I'm Over in the Infusion Room, With Everyone Else
If neutropenia is an issue, there is
Neulasta
OnPro, a plastic device that delivers medicine that boosts white blood cell production while you relax in a chair at home on the day after your infusion. If one steroid doesn’t control rash, it can be swapped out for another.

No appetite after chemo
Made it thru the
Neulasta
bone aches and the other side effects but he says food doesn't taste right. He is hungry. How long does this last and will his taste come back before his next treatment on Dec.26.

Chemo cancelled for tomorrow - low plaquettes - I'm so upset.
They can boost up the whites with
neulasta
but not the plaquettes apparently. I don't even want hubby to hug me. I've emailed my Cancer Support Counsellor as she usually phones on Tuesday after chemo and I don't want to talk to her either. I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Post FCR treatment 3 months blood test just taken results lower then expected
My white count is 1.3 and my neutrophil .5 I will be going back in 2 weeks for another blood test and if this does not get better a
neulasta
injection. I have to say I was feeling "normal" for a while and this really put me back to reality. I am very scared.

anyone taking Nevirapine/Viramune at the same time as doing taxotere chemotherapy.
my doctor said that doing this combination (although I'm only 60 and athletic and have great bone density) would require me to do the
Neulasta
with each treatment to help my white cells from dropping.

FR Treatment 6 of 6
I will try taking loratadine (Claritin) today and for the next few days to help with the discomfort of the
Neulasta
. Perhaps even taking aleve for the weekend coming up.
