Any Nurses? 20,000 WBC

Just wondering if there are any nurses on here. My white blood count came back 20,000 and my neutriphils were also high out of range. I got very sick early Monday morning. Came out of no where. Was at my MD and then at the ER on IV. Was told that even with a virus blood count should not be this high. I'm very nervous. I was under the care of an oncologist for years for a high white count. He diagnosed me hyper cellular or pre leukemia then chronic. I've been pretty stable for a couple of years now. Just wondering if any of our nurses have any input on this. I have an appt. Wed. with the oncologist again and this Friday with an MD. I switched today the MD I had for 14 years. When I was sick on Monday, he treated me with accupuncture and then I ended up in ER. and, Six years ago he missed the Leukemia so I thought it was time for a change and am now going to one of the other doctors in the group that I've known for years. Any input would be appreciated. Just kind of scared and nervous. And, still feeling sick and weak. Thanks. Elaine
