avoiding infections

Hi, I'm having problems with my ANC at the moment and my haematologist is not offering Neupogen shots. I'm booked for another BMB on the 8th of April and was wondering if he thought the shots would interfere with the biopsy results. Is this a possible reason for not treating my Neutropenia.

I'm worried about getting an infection and my GP appears to be upset with the haematologist for not ordering any treatment.

The clinical notes at the bottom of the last 3 blood results states that I'm at severe risk of overwhelming infection.

I realise that this is the risk that we all have but I'd rather avoid it if I can.
