Is it leukemia Understanding bloodwork Terrified
by GiggleCry, Oct 28, 2008 11:45PM
About four months ago I began feeling extremely fatigued. Then the dull lower flank pain started on both sides. I have constant naseau and always feel really weak.I went to ER. Cat scan only showed tiny cyst on right ovary. Blood and urine tests were done. Blood showed 13.5 white blood cell count. Went to Regular doctor. He checked me for diabetes, thyroid, and it came back negative. At that time my white blood cell count was 15. He gave me antibiotics nothing worked. We just ran the test again my white blood cell count is at 15.7 and now my NEU# is 10.9 and my LYM# is 3.8 He has referred to a hematologist. Im a 26 year old female generally healthy until now I do smoke and am overweight (not obese) I always was on the go, and now just walking through a store is a long slow process

Low WBC count shows some viral infections, immunodeficiency states, and bone marrow failure.Going by your symptoms, and low WBC,I feel that the possibility of multiple myeloma needs to ruled out.It is a tumor of the bone cells and typically presents with pain in the back esp lower back. It is diagnosed by Electrophoresis (EP) which measures the levels of various proteins in the blood or urine.Bone scans and bone marrow biopsy are also sometimes helpful in confirming.
I feel that you should consult an oncologist and get this possibility evaluated.
Hope it helps.If you have any additional queries,then pls post us.
Take care and regards.
