Steve,
I believe that neuprogen (WBC booster) was a last resort, my dr. is/was afraid that it will work against blasts (raise them), and he was happy to just push me off a week...
It helped that I have a cold, he said they would have to wait a week even if they were to give me a WBC booster...
I think it would be kind of silly to take even the smallest risk that my blasts would go up, when the whole idea is to bring my blasts down prior to BMT...
All the best,
Dave
