I had a CBC in August WBC 6.8, had one on Sunday b/c of low grade fever, sore throat, cough,and on and off chills( for about 10 days) and because I found a bruise on my back. WBC 9.7, platelets 240,000. Strep and u/a -, lungs clear...
MD doesn't know what's wrong, says it c/b a virus, did a repeat blood this AM, doens't think the bruise is consistent with Leukemia, said it s/b all over and wouldn't heal in 2 days like it did.
Saying that word made me worry...do you think that could be a possibility?
None of the blood work in the last 2 times were abnormal, never had a bruise appear out of no where, no loss of appetite, no weight loss, no SOB, not any tired than normal ( 4 kids), exercise regulary...
The MD made me nervous by even suggesting that...
Please tell me if you think I could have it, or if you think I should do something else...
THanks,
J
