I'm also having carboplatin-paclitaxel chemo (I've had 4 cycles so far), but I'm not being treated with Neulasta. I also don't have any bone pain. Different people react differently to drugs, but to me this suggests that the Neulasta may be the culprit for your bone pain. Along with the chemo, I'm also getting Emend through the IV, along with pills of dexamethasone, Pepcid, Zofran, and benadryl. (I think that's everything.) They didn't tell me to take any other drugs afterwards other than laxatives or Pepcid/Zofran if necessary. My blood counts are dropping (all of red, white, and platelets), and the nurse practitioner said that if these keep getting worse, they would do a transfusion with the next cycle. Yuck.

Interesting, yesterday 3 rd chemo, no problems, eat soup and hamburger when got home. Took Benadryl last night and actually slept all night. So, this afternoon is when arm injection will happen so will be interesting to see if bone pain takes place again. Will take another Benadryl
tonight to see. My white blood cell are normal range, were to high 1st round so they lowered doze going into my arm. Red this time was low but he said ok total so am o for now. Not sure about when they will start radiation, because of holidays. My days off Monday and Tuesday 26 & 27 they don't want to work not same problem the next week. Hoping they may schedule me for next Monday the 19th. Guess more tomorrow
