Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Swollen lymph nodes left side of neck associated with high white blood cells count for 6 months is indicating possible infection on head and chest sites. Infection of lymph nodes themselves is to consider too. A good physical examination is required together with the full ct-scan report.

We should rule out infection, then, we can investigate further for possible lymphoma. The full blood count report and ct-scan report is required.
We should evaluate the other blood cells count too.

Hope this helps.
