Hi Maura,

There could be various reasons why you had an elevation in your levels of WBC and Absolute Lymphocytes, and it could indicate that you had an infection which your immune system was fighting. 

What did you doctor say about it?  Blood count levels do tend to fluctuate from time to time anyway while on treatment so I`m sure it`s nothing to worry about.

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone experienced an elevation in WBCs and Absolute Lymphocytes? Between week 4 and week 9 my wbcs shot up from normal to 17 and lymphs to 12,000. Very odd. Saw doctor and will be following it, but wondered if anyone else had this reaction.

Thanks, Maura
