Here's a little tip on the Neulasta (which I agree is an awful, awful drug). Take a clariton about an hour before you have the neulasta. For some reason, that simple OTC medication can help reduce some of the side effects. Not get rid of them entirely, but may turn that raging bone pain and killer headache into more simple aches.
Also, you probably know this, but drinking lots of water is very important during chemo times - I drink 64 ounces a day, minimum. I hope it goes easy on you and your side effects are minimal.
