EC chemo

No this hasn’t happened to me but I am just so sad for you - is there another alternative they can give instead?  They seem to have a plan B or C for if their first course of action doesn’t go to plan. It might be worth asking what the implications are if they go straight to surgery and how it is different from Plan A.  I hope someone can share an experience with you. 

I’m really sorry to hear this has happened to you. My sister had cancer also and this kept happening to hear, it’s really tough. Are you having filgastrim injections? X

Hi I had the injection after the first treatment  of E/C and when I was netropenic and in hospital but not since 

Ok so, I was given 7 days of injections after each chemo (initially, I reduced them to 5 after a few cycles because of headaches) and this keeps your neutrophils and white blood cells up. Protocol is different across the trusts but here at Wycombe Hospital it is standard for all cancer patients as it’s cut admissions by so much and they feel it gives a better outcome. It could be worth discussing with your team? X
