Neutropenia: my life-long friend

I often get asked about the blood disorder that I have had since I was born; even many doctors don't know much about it and I end up explaining my own experiences with neutropenia to them. 

Although acute neutropenia is much more common, e.g. after chemotherapy or being ill for a longer period of time, chronic neutropenia is not nearly as common. So here I share a link with you that will hopefully bring you some light to the condition... The information has been out together by the Canadian Neutropenia Association. I strongly feel that we need to have such an Association in Europe as well; perhaps that can be my next adventure - watch this space!
