The day after chemotheray, I receive a Neulasta shot at the hospital. Neulast ia a drug manufactured by Amgen. It is a white cell booster, a drug that helps the body make more of its own natural whte blood cells to help portect against chemotherapy-related infection. A low white blood cell count or an infection can put chemotherapy on hold. So I must stay healthy so that I don't miss a treatment. I am 3/4 of the way thur the Adriamycin and Cytoxin.... one more of the "big hitter" to go. The cost of one Neulasta shot is $4500 and I get 4 shots. So today I get a shot today. I leaves me tired, stiff and flu like for a few days..... but it is keeping me healthy and ready for better health. Thank heaven for good insurance.
God, please guide the intellectuals that are inventing treatments and procedures to keep our children and adults living longer so that they may fulfill their life dreams and good works. Martha
