Hi again. Well it turned out my port was leaking internally and it's been removed and another one placed.

Well, the sites are infected and the wounds have opened and I'm on antibiotics. That's okay, I'll be fine. The thing I'm wondering is that my neutrophils are sitting at 1.0 and that's very good but I still keep getting infections...so, is it possible to have enough neutrophils but they don't function properly? Is there a test to determine if they are normal and functioning?

I did try to Google it but I came up with nothing. I don't see the haematologist for another 4 weeks.

Thanks for any responses.

Carol.
