    Janae, just checking to see

    Janae, just checking to see if you had called work to give them the news and how that went? Hoping it went well and that you don't have to spend any more energy worrying about it. Glad to hear that you were able to spend some time with your friend!

    Scotgirl, were you able to

    Scotgirl, were you able to contact your doctor today? Hopefully they were able to help you with managing the side effects.

    I had horrible bone pain in my jaw from my first Neulasta shot but was able to control it with left over pain meds from my surgery and a heating pad. I only need Advil and the heating pad for the second and third shots. Nothing was needed after that.

    As far as the constipation, I took Miralax twice a day every day when I was having chemo and after an incredibly painful bout after my first treatment. At that time, the nurses gave me their magic mixture to help me get through the experience but made me promise that I would stick to the Miralax after that. You can bet that I did!
