Hello All,

My father is 8 weeks into his 24 week 2nd round of chemo. Currently undergoing Taxol with Carboplatin. Recently has has low blood pressure. Was never a problem before. Nurses would kid him that he had the blood pressure of a teenager. Usually right around 120/60. Also last pro-time, his white blood cell count was below a one. Has been going almost daily for a Nuelasta shot to boost his white blood counts. I went yesterday to learn how to give the injections myself. Hopefully, I will only have to do this on week-ends (as necessary), and in an emergency. My question is has anyone been on this drug before? What if any are the side effects, and how long did you need to be on it?


Thanks,
Vickie M
