Thanks for the advice, I just felt so completely helpless and vulnerable, it's hard to imagine that I could have felt this way.
I did forget to mention that on the Saturday morning after Thursday Chemo I self injected with Neulasta. My Onocologist told me just to expect some bone pain, and mentioned nothing else.
I believe I has a serious side effect to the Neulasta injection, my pulse rate was so fast it felt it stripped my body of energy, I had pain in the stomach, breathless, and I found out on Tuesday that these are indicators to a reaction against the Neulasta! I laid in bed for days thinking it would go away the next day, and my mind was not making rational decisions. My partner said he'd call the Doctor, and I said not to worry! What an idiot I am!
I was not of this earth for days, and because I wasn't advised that this could happen, I ignored it. I got on to the Neulasta website for answers. http://www.neulasta.com/
This scared the hell out of me, I had no idea just how bad the reactions could be, until I also looked at a range of forum responses globally online. There are a lot suffering with side effects of this injection, and I wonder if they were told, because I wasn't and I am more than a little angry with the Oncologist at the moment.
Does anyone have experience with an oncology dietitian that could possibly plan a diet that stimulates WBC growth? There has got to be a better and less harsh way than this method.
