hi
I am three mnth full remission and yes my counts where this low every cycle. I received neulasta everytime just to keep wbc over a one and I had to receive 3. Platlette transfusion. Keep a close watch on your fevers,and avoid fresh produce And restaurants as I'm sure uve been advised.

I am and have always been
I am and have always been low without any ill effects. last friday, my wbc was 1.5 and my anc was 0.2 and I still got chemo as usual. my doc doesn't have me on neupogen/neulasta or any antibiotics.
I generally make sure just to use hand sanitizer and wash my hands a lot, and try to stay away from sick people. Well, my roommate is sick at the moment and I attend classes at the university so the whole avoiding sick people thing only works in theory...
But basically what I'm suggesting is you should be fine even if your numbers look really scary. :)
