I have cancer and was wondering, what should my wbc be?

Question

Specific type CML Cronic Mylogenous Leukemia

I have asked my Oncologist and they wont tell me what the "norm" is. I am going to guess it is diffrent for each individual but i sure would like to know. Also what would be considered abnormal WBC?

Answer 1

A normal WBC would be anywhere from ( it can be 4000 or 5000 but let's say 4,500-10,000 - depending on the lab also )

For CML i've seen anywhere from 4,000-over 200,000

Answer 2

Your oncologist has to give you a copy of any of your blood test results.

What you should be looking for is the trend where your WBC is headed, either down towards normal range (generally 4 thousand to 12 thousand) or getting higher which would mean you might be getting worse. You should be getting and keeping copies of all your blood tests unless this kind of info is overly upsetting to you. You would be able to track your own progress. Even if your WBC is high and well above normal you need not worry too much if your WBC is consistently headed in the right direction.

Answer 3

Hope this helps -

"big number" (like a blood test) the WBC should be over 4.0 and under 6.5

here is the breakdown [from MMRF] -

Leukocytes (WBCs)

Number of white blood cells in the blood; counts or percentages of the individual types of blood cells are also provided. White blood cells help fight infection and remove harmful substances from the body. A low number of white cells can increase the possibility of infection Total 3.5 - 10.5 x 109/L

Neutrophils 1.7 - 7.0
Monocytes 0.3 - 0.9
Lymphocytes0.9 - 2.9
Basophils 0.0 - 0.3
Eosinophils 0.05 - 0.5

hope it helps.

In our life’s we see people go through alot of pain, where they did not seem to really know where there going, so we searched for answers in health, relationships, and long life success. We went to the depth of the earth for cold hard facts. We care for all people and I want them to know the truth. Well all I can say is Kevin Trudeau is right on track with his books. My research does come from years of looking into the health field and I will say there our many others like Kevin Trudeau that have not come out of the closet maybe because of fear? Here are a few websites for you to look at. I will not give the websites out here but what I will do is give the name of the website and you can go to a search engine and find them right on top.

(The homeostasis protocol), (Sam Biser), (Dr Richard Schultz), (sanoviv) (hippocratesinst)

The success stories of these people are just amazing.

I believe one thing!!! All of these masters on health agree on one thing DO NOT CHASE A DISEASE!!! Because you’ll lose like millions have done already (Death). The way to knock out the disease is to give it an environment that it can’t stand to live in, like a fish out of water. Take care of your self and remember to pass this information on to the people you love and see in pain. Please take care of your self and your love ones. This time on earth is very short for all of us.

I LOVE YEA

God Bless

Have a Wonderful Day... Keep your head up and don’t quit!!!!!!

Answer 5

4,500 - 10,000 white blood cells/mcl (cells per microliter).

Labs also vary with results.

Stay positive with your thinking, get plenty of rest, get out and get fresh air, go for a walk and laugh a lot.

Good luck and God Bless you.
