I ve had CLL for the past 12 yrs. My WBC have been between 18,000 & 22,000. On June 2012, it was 21,000. I had a bad upper respiratory infection in Oct 2012. My PCP put me on antibiotics. He also recommended that I have a full blood test. My results showed that my WBC spiked from 21,000 to 30,000. He ordered another test and was tested 6 days later and my WBC went to 35,0000. He recommended that I see a Hematologist and referred me to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Manchester, NH. This hematologist is one of the best in NH and he has also done a lot of research on his own. The hematologist ordered a complete blood test of my blood. My WBC spiked to 51,000 from Dec. 18 to Jan 2nd. . The hematologist concluded that my globulin level was low and that was why my WBC spiked and are keeping rising. I m starting treatment next Thursday with IV globulin treatment. He s recommending that I have 6 treatments. I m relieved that s it s not chemotherapy. I would like to know if I have to change my lifestyle during the treatment, is it going to affect my work, and or sports? I don t have any ailments from CLL, like lymph swelling, fever or anything like that. The only thing I know is that my counts are high and are increasing. Otherwise, I don t have any symptoms. I would also like to know if this treatment will reduce the WBC. I m under the impression that because my globulin levels are low, it s causing my WBC to rise. Also, once I conclude this treatment, are my WBC go back to normal? Please advise. Thanks.
