    I was on neulasta and
    I was on neulasta and neupogen as I had ACT. The blood counts as well as blood pressure pretty much stayed in the toilet the whole time. My husband started me on a vitamin regimen of anti oxidents, D, and some other things. I think it saved my life and I feel better now than I did before this all started.

    sorry to hear that!!
    i hope you get better soon. i have been there where you are.. i got ok though when i started getting the shot after my chemo treatment.. the first chemo was my knock out i was sick for 2 weeks didnt feel like even getting out of bed. my daughter came home with the stomach bug and wham bam right when i thought i was getting better back to bed. i went to the dr a few days later and my white counts was so messed up and they told me dont ever do this again you get in the office so we can keep a check on it and give you something that might work for you and not someone else.. now im through with chemo feel like it never ends. been to hospital twice for platelets transfusions and they put me on preizone because the transfusions wasnt working for me. finally after 4 weeks my counts are back to normal. so you hang in there just make sure you tell your dr everything they have so many meds i didnt even thought existed for us taken treatments.. the best thing you can do is get plenty of rest stay away from all germs..

    keep in touch
    my prayers are with you!!
    hope you get better soon!!

    I had the same problem.....
    After my last two chemo treatments my white blood cell count went real low and I had to be housebound, with no one coming over too. The oncologist sent me home with a perscription for an antibiotic and told me to start taking it at the first sign of fever, etc. I haven't had to use it yet. I have my 4th treatment Nov. 9th of this medication and then I start another chemo medication after I have my surgery, which should be the end of November. I am on A/C right now.

    All I did was lay low and my counts went back up by themselves so hopefully that will happen for you too.

    I am going stir crazy with all of this. How about you? My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Love and Light,
    Vicki
