Like if you go to the doctor and get a blood test and your blood is fine, is it possible you could go back three months later and be diagnosed? because of a high WBC count?

Yes
The time interval it takes for leukaemia to become apparent on your blood tests varies. Certainly it is possible to have a normal white cell count one day and three months later be diagnosed with leukaemia.
It would be uncommon for something like that to happen within a week and rare for it to happen within a few days ... but there are no NEVER's in medicine and some people present in crisis with rapid onset of the disease.
