Hi all
For any of you who have gotten Neulasta, do you know how long it took to bring your white count up? My husband is on new kick ass chemo for his stage IV lymphoma. His white count went down to 1.2 last Thursday and I sort of rushed him in for Neulasta. (He had not wanted to take it on Tuesday because his counts were fine on Monday). So, he had the shot Thursday, lab work repeated today, and white count hasn't gone up at all. Now his platelets have dropped by 100K, and RBCs have dropped as well, though he's not yet anemic, and with a platelet count of 40K, he shouldn't bleed. The white count though, is essentially non-existant. They put him on prophylactic antibiotics and I am to take him to the ER if he gets any fever at all...then will be ICU admission and IV antibiotics. Whew...this stuff is scary. Prayers would be great, and so appreciated.
Love to all,
Bev
