Might be Danazol side effects

My mother WBC seems continue to go downward after consuming danazol (2*200mg/day) for the past 6 months. Current level at 3.36. The level drop from 3.8 to 3.36 in 19 days. Initial level before consuming Danazol was at more than 5

The ANC level was at 1938 ([10^3/mm^3]) 2 months ago when the WBC at 3.86. The normal range must be > 1500 [10^3/mm^3]

The formula i am using to calculate for ANC is

ANC = WBC count (x10³/mm³) * Neutrophils (%).

Found this in internet. Hope the formula is correct )

Just wondering if the ANC level goes below the 1500, is it a MUST to get it back to 1500 again or can this be done later as my mother will go for a trip in the middle of this month. Any help/info is much appreciated.

Or should my mother stopped taking the Danazol for the time being till after she is back from the trip.
