neutropenia associated with chemotherapy
"First chemo (cytoxin/taxotere) on Wednesday & Neulasta shot 24 hours after.  Was very exhausted Friday mid day & by night time all hell broke loose.  The bone pain was excruciating & debilitating.  Luckily it was the weekend, but never left my bed, had to call out to work on Monday & only could work 1/2 day Tuesday.  Its now 1 week later & the bone pain is still present in some areas, mainly my legs & feet making it hard to walk.  I do not meet the Neulasta'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."
