when should i get worried about my CBC ?

Hi, brand new to this forum. I am hoping to get someone to review my last CBC. Here are the values. I have been on chemotherapy for the past six years. My doctor supports me continuing but says at some point my body is going to "reject" the drugs. Below, the MCH has always been slightly high, and the MCV has been slightly high and that my neutrophil count is usually low....other than small derivations from this list, these tests are pretty representative of my normal. How close am I to needing procrit/aranesp or neutrophil shots?

And how long can I go before having to stop this? Before having to get my bone marrow replaced?

As mentioned I have been on this chemotherapy regiment for six years. Thank you.
