Re: Neulasta after chemo?

[Guest guest]

Every week that I have chemo I am given a shot like Neulasta, but of another

name. This is because my red blood counts are very low (around 9 or 10) and

have been consistently low since before surgery (when they were 8). I have

had tons of blood transfusions.
