Elaine, I'm so sorry you are sick. Gayle is our resident nurse, and she's on vacation. I think it's a good idea that you changed doctors, since that one missed what he did. I know you must be very afraid..I hear it in you post. Try to take it easy until your next appointment, and don't hesitate to go to the ER if you feel worse. Please keep us informed. May God bless and comfort you! Betsi

Elaine...I'm glad you're here, but sorry to read you're not feeling well. Betsi is right....Gayle isn't here right now and she is our own wonderful nurse. You can call your Dr. and they will tell you what the counts mean if you think it will help you not worry as much.

I too can tell in your post that you're worried. I will keep you in my prayers Elaine.

I have you on my mind today Elaine. How are you doing? Did you find out anything yet? Are you feeling any better? Sorry for all the questions...I'm just concerned

Elaine, I'm so sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. It sounds like something that definitely needs to be looked at by a doctor so I'm glad that you have appointments. I'll say a prayer. Let us know how you're doing. Hugs!

Thanks everyone. And, Betsi it's never a bother to ask someone how they are. I really appreciate your concern. I feel much better (Physically) today. Still a little tired and weak but no where near as sick as I was. I was able to get into the MD yesterday. This is the new MD that I changed to. I've known him since he first started with the practice about five years ago. I actually had him taking care of my mom and over the years became friends with him. He got me right in yesterday and he said that I should not worry too much over the high white count and the Leukemia being back. He said that to him the high white count indicates more of a bacteria infection rather then the leukemia because the Nepha somthings are high rather then the Lympha somethings. He is concerned over what is causing the high whites and today I had some more blood work done and will go back to the MD on Monday morn. His first concered was Menangitis and he said that would have been the first he'd have looked for but since I seem better that it can't be that. His second thought was the Swine Flu because he said that my symptoms were that of the flu. He was upset that the hospital did not admit me and he said if between now and Monday I feel sick like that that I'm to go to the ER and have him called and he'll have me admitted. I'm keeping my appt. with the oncologist on Wed. unless my whites are normal again. Anyway, at this point I don't know much more but am happy that I'm not sick like I was and very thankfull for all you guys here you really are wonderful gals Elaine
