yes I did take shots to increase WBC.

I took mine twice between treatments, first shot 4 days after the treatment and the second 4 days later , and by the time my next treatment day comes my WBC were in normal range. Thank GOD I never catch a cold during my treatments. Mine were given in the back of my arm; I tried it once in stomach and didn't like it. 

It just doesn't make since to me to take the shot just right before treatment, I am thinking the chemo will kill the protein that stimulate the bones to produce WBC. Maybe I am wrong.

 

Bill,

I believe you are totally correct. The neulasta is given shortly after infusion, to keep the chemo from undoing the positive effects it will have on WBC generation.
