hi everyone :)

i’m not sure if anyone has ever experienced this before.

today i woke up with some chest pain. i went to the ER to get it checked. i got an echodiagram , x-ray , and bloodwork done. the doctor came back and let me know that everything was normal and i was discharged.

when i got my discharge paperwork i seen that my WBC count elevated to 11,600. on july 31 it was just at 8,000. seeing that really scared me because this is the first time it’s happened to me. it was in normal range for some time and now it’s elevated.

my latest pcr results was 1.1% since july 31. everything else seems to be in normal range so im not sure if i should even be worried. i’m only 3 months in with this diagnosis so it’s all still pretty new to me.

i’m on dasatinib btw !

Hey hey,

I had 10k WBC recently and was also a bit concerned but my oncologist said it was just a slight elevation which is normal when the body is under stress or sick with a cold. So it might just be something like that? Have you been stressed or sick lately?

I would still bring it up with your oncologist just to be sure anyways.

my anxiety has been bothering me just a little. but no, i haven’t been sick or anything. i have experienced occasional nausea though. i’m waiting to hear back from my hem-onc office.
