You are right to be concerned: anyone with WBC at this low level needs comprehensive medical evaluation. With the low WBC count, I wonder if her red blood cells also are low, i.e. anemia, which if severe can cause fatigue. If her personal physician doesn't seem concerned or knowledgable, find a hematologist/oncologist (blood disease/cancer specialist). Good luck.
