White Blood Count
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hey, my white blood count is 14.8. I'm a 37 year old female. I do have a mass in my left upper arm. I go for an ultrasound this week. I also have a small polyp in my uterus. I do run a low grade fever on and off. I feel weak and have pains. Could the high white blood count be another sign I may have cancer? Please let me know if you had near this count and have cancer or your thoughts on the subject. Thanks to all and God bless!

its an indicator of a problem, such as infection, stress, inflammation, trauma, allergy, or certain diseases

Hey, I just read that prednisone (steroid) can make white blood count go up. I took them for 5 days so that may be why. Sorry your son had cancer. I'm hate waiting and not knowing.

Polyp in uterus was bigger than they thought but was not cancer! Mass in arm is going to be removed and then sent off. Praying it's not cancerous. Going for colonoscopy soon. I have constipation diarrhea and mucus in stool. Went from being healthy to one problem after another. But I'm so thankful polyp was fine 😇

Hi. In most cases a higher than normal white blood count just usually indicates an infection. Your white cell count will naturally increase due to it fighting the infection.

Oh no, I don't know if anything is wrong. I always think a second opinion is smart. I have gotten a couple my self. First time they said I had tendonitis. Second opinion was that a did not have tendonitis but a mass. Iwish I would of gotten a second opinion sooner. Which I still could have tendonitis but I definitely have a mass also. Wishing you well 😊
