Colon spread to liver, right? Do you have to pay that neulasta yourself? Are there other options? J > No wonder they advertise Neulasta so much.It`s $3000.00 an injection.Just > plain med scams again....Bob I thought it was more like $4000 to $4500.  Signature"...by March 2000, President Clinton informed Congress he could no longer certify that 'North Korea is not seeking to develop or acquire the capability to enrich uranium.'" <http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/asia/northkorea/nuclear.html> I had 8 Neulasta injections during the course of my Chemo. It may do well by the white blood cell count, but it made my chemo twice as bad. The TV commercial states "Mild to moderate bone pain may be experienced when taking Neulasta"...My @ss. I am 32 years old, and this stuff made me feel like I was 85 for 3 to 5 days after each injection. Every major joint group in my body ached deeply (hips, shoulders, elbows, knees). At any rate, enough of my rant...my insurance company was paying about $2800 per injection. FWIW, I live in NE Ohio.

Mr_CNC Sorry to hear you had such a bad time in chemo. However, just to show that all things affect everyone differently, I am on my 6th of 8 Neulasta injections. I had some bad bone pain one time and I'm not even sure that was the Neulasta as it occurred almost a week later and was also about a week out from a change in my chemo drug (to Taxol). I'm 52 years old, out of shape and recovering from 2 major surgeries just prior to my chemo/Neulasta injections. I really believe the shots have helped ward off infections and such and kept me out of the hospital. True it's expensive, but my experience on that is like yours price-wise and my insurance company is paying it. Marsha The Neulasta ads make me angry....I got the impression it was a pill you get at the pharmacy. Had no idea it was an injection that cost an arm and a leg! |
