I had 2 filgrastin injections, which brought my neutrophils back up to 6.3 or so. I felt back on top of things in just under a week. I'm working Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Was admitted on a Tuesday night. Went back to work the following Wednesday. This cycle, as I've now had the episode of febrile neutropenia , I was given an injection of Neulasta, a long acting white cell booster. I'm 5 days post chemo at the moment, watching what happens this time. They didn't find a cause for my temp, which isn't uncommon I believe. I had IV antibiotics until neutrophils came up, then home on oral antibiotics.
Hope you're on the mend. Take care,
