The shot
December 4: Today I received a shot of Neulasta which helps the bone marrow produce more white blood cells. It works over a longer period of time than the Neupoen shot I received last week - which was designed to get me through the treatment. Out of curiousity I searched the internet for the cost of the Neulasta shot. Average price for one shot came up around $3,000. I'm very thankful for insurance. Still feeling good - just a little tired.
