They gave Benadryl and Tylenol again for premeds for the platelet transfusion. It took about half an hour, and I had one hive and a small rash a little after it finished. They gave me more Benadryl and that took care of it. It's expected to need blood transfusions in the time between the chemo and stem cell engraftment. Until my body starts producing cells on its own, my blood counts will keep dropping.
I started to notice a bit of bone pain, intermittently in my back and legs, which means the Neupogen is working and stimulating bone marrow production. They can give me something for the pain if it gets worse, but it's not bad.
