Hi there,
I had neulasta after the second AC cycle with minimal side effects however the dose  after the second AC was beyond horrific. 

Onset of pelvic pain with pv bleeding and a syncope. The pain was like my induction labour. It subsided as quickly as it came but not before I had presented myself to the local ED in agony. 

Bloods revealed that my wcc had gone up to 36 in that short time.
