Hope,
I have been getting Neuopogen shots every two weeks with my chemo. I also got Procrit when my counts dropped. When I asked about where the cut-off level was the nurse said they went by the guidelines set by the individual's insurance company (which, of course, are always way low)because the shots are so expensive.
I was able to get into a clinical study and get my Procrit for free and bypass the insurance company's low levels.
If your count keeps dropping, I would push your doctor to give you the shot. Hope this helps!
