I went and got my wbc today from local Dr. (I admit I have been naughty and have not been for about 5-6 weeks) I was SHOCKED as it was 8.5 and it is never usually above 4.5 (it was 6.3 once last year). I know normal range is from between 3-11.....should I be freaking out??? (coz I am). Let me know what your normal wbc is please!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi Donna, I'll tell you the same thing my doctor tells patients. " Normal is normal " . Any white count below 11 is NORMAL.... which means you have no reason to freak out.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 My wbc stays below average. You may want to notify your oncologist. It may be as simple as an infection. Have you had a cold? Hope you get answers. Jackie S. From: donnaberry99 <no_reply > Subject: [ ] High wbc? Date: Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 4:39 PM Hi All Quick question...
