Patient has Breast Cancer
Had first FEC Chemotherapy treatment (adjuvant chemotherapy)
Started to develop a flu on day 4 after chemotherapy
Received antibiotics
Slightly overweight
WBC count 1.3 – mild Neutropenia even after taking Neulasta the day after chemotherapy
Could the Neulasta dosage (6 mg) have been insufficient due to weight and does it make sense to try to administer several dosages of Neupogen?

My boyfriend of six years just found out in July 2005 that he has pancrease cancer. He has already had chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Unfortuantly it did not work at all so the doctors tried a different form of chemo but that too failed as it made him so weak he couldn’t hardley get out of bed. If anyone has any suggestions that may help it would be appreciated.
