Hi @statmatics, just popping into the conversation for a moment. If your wife has future Neupogen or Nulasta injections to boost her neutorphils, one of the usual recommendations from oncologists is for the patient to take regular Claritin (not Claritin D). One capsule per day from the day of the injection for up to 7-ish days or more. I had to take them up to 10 days. Neupogen promotes a rapid production of the white blood cells which can cause pain in the bone with the expansion. It is usually relieved as the cells spill out into the blood stream.
The Claritin really helps with the pain. Ask her oncologist if it’s ok for Rachel to take them.
