How low does my wbc have to be for me not to get my Halaven injection?

After my first injection of Halaven, wbc was 4. After second, it was 2.9. My oncologist says that my wbc needs to get back up. I can't take Neulasta since it could trigger my leukemia to come back. How high does it have to be?

I read this in their product literature:

Recommended dose delays

• Do not administer HALAVEN on Day 1 or Day 8 for any of the following:

− ANC < 1,000/mm3

− Platelets < 75,000/mm3

− Grade 3 or 4 non-hematological toxicities.

Hope this is helpful. I’m not on it. Elaine
