    port

    You will eventually love your port. Did anyone tell you about getting permissiom to take Claritin, (generic ok). It helps many reduce the bone pain from the marrow working overtime, from the Neulasta. Kept my discomfort tolerable. Be well. This is doable. jojo2

    They have me taking Claritin

    They have me taking Claritin D staring the day before Neulasta and continue for 5 days.

    Claritin

    I took it daily throughout my tx. Some take it the day of chemo and several days after Neulasta. Good luck. jojo2

    Thanks for the heads up.  I

    Thanks for the heads up.  I now know if the pain comes on after stopping the Claritin, I can talk to my onco about continuing it.
