Assistance: Those That Get Neulasta Shot / Injector After Chemo

amw5

For those of you that get the Neulasta shot or Neulasta injector and you have medical insurance through your employer, you can get help from Neulasta for the shot. I have Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, and they cover a large portion of the shot, but I still have to pay my part. I reached out to Neulasta, and I found out that I could get that part paid by them. So, I took the time to do the necessary paperwork, and boom. They paid my part of it (and it was a good amount). You can find out more from their website: https://www.neulasta.com/support/ OR you can phone them at 1-844-696-3852 I really hope this helps out someone.

Great information amw5! Thank you for sharing!

In addition, there's some other awesome programs to help for all kinds of other breast cancer drugs. See the main Breastcancer.org site's page on Tips to Lower Medicine Costs for more.

We hope this helps as well!

No need to be sorry at all! Always good to have a reminder for those who aren't aware!

Do you have the bone pain associated with it? I do, and I have found Aleve works for me. Luckily my doctor says I can take Aleve for it, seems like the only think that actually works for me. I have Norco but it didn't even touch the pain. Tylenol does nothing, and Claritin I got the wrong one LOL so I guess I will have to try it maybe next cycle. I get the OnPro it works well since my WBC counts are always high but that bone pain is awful.

Melinda0628 - I never experience any pain from the Neulasta injector. I know I read about a lot of ladies having this issue.
