John was on that when he broke his wrist and his counts were much lower than yours at the time. He had no problem with it. But the ortho doc consulted with our hematologist regarding John's SAA. I assume the course of antibiotic will be just prior and after for 24 hours.
Come to think of it, they also gave him that for his knee surgery just prior and after surgery.
You may want to check with your hematologist and pose that question to him/her.
If you're not on cyclo anymore and your ANC is that high, then risk is probably lower for a secondary infection. I would also ask if they put everyone on this who has this procedure or is it because of your SAA.
