Fuckity! If you were not given a Neulasta shot after the first chemo, you can probably expect one next time. It boosts your white cell production but it gives some of us a full body toothache. I found Loratadine very helpful when dealing with that. Ask, before you go back in, if you are going to have a colony booster (how revolting does that sound) and if you are, can you take an antihistamine. Thing is, this little hack works best if you start the day before treatment. Some practices prescribe the loratadine as part of their usual procedure, some have never heard of it.
Hang in there. Marg xx
