Hi there! When my ANC went to it's lowest point (not as low as yours though, gasp!) my dr. wanted to administer the neupogen as well but specifically told me she could not without doing the BMB first because it could alter the results of the biopsy (that was the BMB that contributed to my diagnosis). so I hope that info helps. Also, since my diagnosis and fluctuating low to very low ANC and WBC I have always had to take a round of antibiotics event to get my teeth just cleaned at the dentist. And lots of the other precautionary measures mentioned by everyone here. but I'm a mom of three (9,8,2) so i live with walking petri dishes
Needless to say there is lots of handwashing and wiping down going on in my house -- even more than I use to do. Good luck next week!!!!
