Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy
"First chemo (cytoxin/taxotere) on Wednesday &amp; Neulasta shot 24 hours after.  Was very exhausted Friday mid day &amp; by night time all hell broke loose.  The bone pain was excruciating &amp; debilitating.  Luckily it was the weekend, but never left my bed, had to call out to work on Monday &amp; only could work 1/2 day Tuesday.  Its now 1 week later &amp; the bone pain is still present in some areas, mainly my legs &amp; feet making it hard to walk.  I do not meet the Neulasta&#039;s website criteria for taking this drug.  I am suggesting my oncologist find another way to help w/my white blood cell counts.  Seriously will reconsider continuing chemo since at this stage it is only being given as an insurance policy since my double mastectomy removed the cancer."
