Hi all. I hope you keep going through the chemo treatment well despite many side effects. I'm just wondering if any of you who are on Taxol have been given Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) injections to help fight infections that can arise from low white blood cell counts (WBC). My WBC was very low this week and my oncologist recommended postponing the infusion. As I am not happy with that especially I am on premedication to manage allergic reactions that I have already taken before the blood test results, I asked for the Neulasta as most of us was given it with AC. My oncologist wanted to try to check the blood for WBC today 30 minutes before Chemo and if it is above 1.00 I can go ahead. Will see today.
