Hi Vickie,
My mom was on Neulasta for a week to ten days w/no side effects at all. There is an alternative to Procrit that only has to be given, I believe, once every two weeks. As I recall it's called Aranesp. My dad received it without any side effects whatsoever. Best wishes to you and your dad.
Sincerely,
D
