WHITE BLOOD CELL DOUBLING

21 November WBC 2,700
24 November WBC 4,000
7 December WBC 9,400

Is this a doubling of WBC? Or will it plateau out in normal range? My gut feeling is that its a doubling but I will know on 21st December when I have another blood test. This is such a ******* of a disease. It seems never to be still. I prepare myself for some good news and I get bad. I prepare myself for some bad news and I get good......trouble is that I am an old hand and this and I don't believe the Junior Consultant. I am an emotional mess.

When the counts are reasonably good and my scan is good, my family and friends think I am back to my old self (pre-illness). This is just a paper reading and my body does not reflect this at all. I do not believe for one moment that the AIHA is sleeping....dozing maybe, but if I were a gambling person I would put money on it waking within one month.
