My 18 month old daughter was diagnosed with neutropenia a year ago (congenital). It was discovered because she was hospitalized of eczema infection and had to have IV antibiotics at 6 months old. Since then she is on Neupogen. A few questions come to mind because she does not have any symptoms or complications related to Neutropenia other than her blood count. At through level she was at 500 on every other day of Neupogen, suddenly down to <150. They had adjusted her dose because probably she is growing and had to adjust it.

Question #1
1) Because she has neutropenia, does this mean she has cancer? It scares me every time I want to read about it because it is always often linked with some sort of cancer. They have been keeping a close eye on her but until to this day she has no other symptoms and bone marrow aspiration is normal but just not producing neutrophils.

2) What are the chances of her body making her own neutrophils?

3) Are there any support groups, information groups available that are related to this topic?

Thank you very much for any information you can send.
