I'm just having a really hard time and would really appreciate some input..

Ever since about 2014 my husband has had up and down fluctuating WBC as high as 18 (normal up to 11) his last few cbcs have been normal WBC 10.8,8.6, ect my question is if he had leukemia would I stabilize itself blood count wise?
He has also had ongoin anemia but very mild. Drs have never even mentioned it.

He had a completely normal ct of abdomen and has no weight loss or lymph nodes.

He does sweat at night but this isn't anything new.

So what about anything you said would make you take a leap like that? :shrug:

Because of his WBC being so high :( like I said it stabilized but I'm not sure if that means anything

Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. It doesn't come and go nor does it stop once it starts.

My white count is ALWAYS elevated... There have been maybe 2 times my white count was on the upper end of normal but within normal range. All the other times it's been elevated. If he isn't having any other symptoms don't worry... Believe it or not both leukemia and lymphoma are rare when compared to other types of cancer.
