High WBC Count. Fever, Sweating, Feeling Cold, Twitching Leg. Cure?

I have had high white blood cell counts since Feb. 2013 they have rose from the drs thinking i had an infection they could pin down to now I have under gone lots of blood work, was sent to a blood specialist, and now have undergone a bone marrow biopsy. My white blood cells and T-cells are extremely high according to the blood specialist. In the end of May beginning of June he took a lot of blood and said he was going to do a special test that would break down the cells individially that are counted in a wbc. I had a fever for 21 days in a row, on day 22 the fever was gone but I ended up with a worst problem. Today makes day 20 of me sweating (right down socked in sweat) but feel like I'm standing naked in the middle of a blizzard. I get so cold at times when asleep that my leg will start to aggesively twitch and wake me sometimes my fiancee too due to the aggression of the leg. I have tried to control it and sometimes can by locking my knee in place. i have read a lot about the possiblities and as the days go by the arrow is slowly but surely pointing in the direction of NHL. Is there any way that this is a mistake? I'm only 27 yrs old. And if I do have NHL can it be cured? If so what would I have to go through to get better?
