One down, five to go!!!! YAY
I too am so glad that your chemo went well; the Neulasta can indeed be painful to the bones( the marrow will be speeding up white cell production; sorta like squeezing the last bit of tooth paste from the tube!) but it will pass as well! If you can arrange to always have your chemo on Thursdays and the Neulasta on Fridays, you will have rest up time on the weekends! Unfortunately, the Neulasta side-effcts don't usually hit for 36 hours, but you can take pain meds for that! If your cancer center didn't mention which ones, CALL THEM! It doesn't matter at all what time of day you call, or if your DR isn't there when you do, someone will be and they will give you great advice. One thing they don't want us to be is sick or uncomfortable! Chemo nurses are an amazing breed of caregivers, aren't they??
Enjoy your weekend! and oh yeah~ drink water, and then more water, and then even more water! It is important to flush your system and keep hydrated!!! Sip sip sip ...it's good for you and important!
Hugs,
