Hi

First of all, let me give my prayers for everyone.  About 4 years ago, I had a physical with a CBC. My WBC came back high. They ran all the tests, and did a bone marrow Bx, which came back ok.  I was told I had *questionable* cells.  This week, I had a CBC ran on me, and my WBC is now at 18.5.  A year ago, it was at 14.4.  My neutrophils are at 79% which is 5 points high, and my lymphocytes are low at 16% and considered low by 4 points.  The docs here don't seem concerned that my WBC have increased over 7 points in 4 years.  And I am not sure how concerned I should be either.

 

Can someone give me their thoughts?

 

Thanks

Karin

Re: Hi

Call my crazy. . but this doesn't seem terribly significant. Do you have any other symptoms, besides a slightly elevated wbc? It's possible that you had a touch of a cold or something at the time of your CBC. Anything is possible, but to me it doesn't seem terribly out of the norm. Are there any other abnormalities on your CBC, or any other symptoms you're having to make you think there's a problem? I'm not trying to diminish your feelings here, just trying to understand what is making you think there's a probelm. When they said "Questionable" was anything else mentioned? I'm just trying to understand here.

Hope all is well and that you're feeling alright.

Emily
