HGB: How Low Can I Go?

I am currently receiving Vidaza shots. My hemoglobin has dropped to 7.9 as of today. How low is too low...at what point should I expect a RBC transfusion? I feel fine, but I have one more shot to go in this cycle and I expect my counts will go down further. My doc monitors my levels weekly. I was 7.9 last Friday.
I go for my final shot tomorrow and am planning to share this concern with the doc.
