I've been referred to a hematologist/oncologist due to a slightly elevated wbc count and soooo scared?

Relax for now: We are often asked to see many patients for abnormal or elevated blood counts. Often these are not dangerous problem, but other doctor who are not blood specialists want to be sure. I would wait to see what happens at that visit.
