A member asked:
Does my elevated wbc necessarily mean cancer? it has been elevated for approx. 2 months and i've undergone 2 rounds of antibiotics.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at all: There are many other things that can cause persistently elevated WBC. Ask your doctor what else it could possibly be and what the plan is for finding out or getting it back to normal. Good luck!
