Deb, its hard to say what exactly happens if wbc drops below 1 ( execpt your at more risk for infection ), to get a full picture of your wbc you have to look at your differentials. My wife has developed an infection with a wbc at 1.5 and felt fine when it is 0.8. Some days you have more better working cells. You just have to get used to changing the way you do things, not nessessarly stop doing them ( going out and stuff like that ) There are times going through this process when it is necessary to stay away from crowds and times when its not. We dont take neuprogen, for us it isn't good, but it works well for some folks, all treatments, growth factors, and different medications will scare the dickens out of you when you read about there side effects, ask you doctor if neuprogen will work for you, dont assume what he is thinking, and ask him to explain why it will or wont in a way that you can understand it, and it will relieve some of the stresses that are associated with trying to understand with what is going on with the disease. Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers...Billy and Tina
