The Neulasta shot is given 24 hours after chemotherapy requiring the patient to return for the shot.  Neulasta is now available for the patient to self administer the day after chemo.

Because I live an hour away from my treatment center, my Dr would send the neulasta shot home with me in a cooler and I had a nurse/friend give it to me the next day. That worked very well so I did not have to make that commute 2 days in a row especially when I was not feeling the best the day after chemo. Very grateful to my Dr. for this option
