injections
Had a check up with the oncologist today and apparantly last round my blood count went REALLY low - so the day after my chemo this round I have to give myself an injection - something about neutrophi...
Hi Marg
I have a jab of neulasta 24 hours after each chemo. I am terrified of needles too so I go back to the chemo clinic to get the nurses to administer it. Was also asked to self inject too but I did not think I could. Also, my local gp surgery was prepared to do so if I wanted but as it turn out, there was no need as I got it done back at the chemo clinic.
Btw, I took some probiotic for bloated tummy recommended by my onco before my 4th chemo and the wbc and neotrophil improved vastly. This is addition to the jab.
Hope you are travelling well.
