Suggest Remedies For Low Neutrophils Count

Hi my husband is undergoing chemotherapy for NHL. He has had one round of chemo and his 2nd round has been cancelled twice due to low neutrophils. Would filgrastim be suitable for him to increase his count? His spleen showed some abnormal cells in the pet scan
