Hi There! Just got diagnosed for sure 3-29-07 after being chronic neutropenic since 6/03. Thank goodness for Neupogen (300 mg. once every 3 days) or my goose would surely been cooked. I'm 51 male and am gettting ready for Methodryxate and Prednisone treatment to start soon. Maybe they can ween me from the Neupogen if this brings my neutrophils up. I work in a chemical plant and wonder if 26 yrs. of this nasty work has brought this on. Have somewhat enlarged spleen but not in any discomfort to speak of. I'm glad to hear your takes on this situation and relieved that I'm not alone. With the neutropenia, all of my first three doc's ( averaging 26 yrs. apiece) told me I was their first one of these! Not a real comforting thought... Just wanted to say "Hi".
