Post chemo injection for immune system

That is true--I posted the information in another thread. Unfortunately most insurers won't approve Neulasta to keep your white cells up in advance of your first chemo infusion. They generally require you to develop febrile neutropenia or another indicator of an extremely low white cell count after the first chemo infusion, and then approve it for after all subsequent infusions. 😖

I don't know if you are in 'the States' or Canada or what insurance, but we, fortunately, have had no trouble with the Neulasta being covered every time - it was always at the end of the infusion - a button attached to the arm. Through all 6 infusions, our blood counts were reasonable.
