Hi Naive,

I would call a neutrophil count of 1 "kind-of-okay" verses "very good", although these things are relative, and optimism is good! You still are moderately neutropenic, and thus should take extra precautions to prevent infections.

If you are still taking steroids, that will also increase your susceptibility.

I hope your road smooths out in the days ahead, now that the old port is gone!
