Just let the doc know you are no longer comfortable sitting back and waiting. If your son's ANC was always above 500 and he didn't need transfusions, then waiting would be appropriate but this is not the case. A fungal infection could settle into the lungs when the ANC is really low and then we'd have a really big problem.
Good luck.
