  * Hemoglobin \>/= 8.0 g/dL at baseline (may receive red blood cell \[RBC\] transfusions) (performed within 7 days prior to enrollment)
* Patients with known bone marrow metastatic disease will be eligible for study provided they meet the blood counts (may receive platelet or packed \[p\]RBC transfusions provided they are not known to be refractory to red cell or platelet transfusions); these patients will not be evaluable for hematologic toxicity
