Ken_PA has explained that your wbc has to be a lot higher than what yours is.  All your  doctors have all said that you don't have leukemia.  

At the moment your body is fighting the Chicken Pox virus.

Mathew, you said in your other post that you have seen 7 doctors and all the doctors have said that you do not have leukemia.

You did say that one doctor told you that you have a virus, and that is because you are getting over your Chicken Pox right now.

Why do you think that you may have leukemia?

No need to worry, Matthew. The WBC is only slightly high, that's still from the infection. In leukemia, it gets much much higher.
