If your absolute lymphocyte count is above 5,000 all the time, the diagnosis of CLL is established, not yet by your numbers so far. I wonder if you just have chronic, idiopathic leukocytosis which also causes a relatively high lymphocyte count. How long have you had leukocytosis (high white cell count)? If you do not have any other associated symptoms of CLL, do not worry much at this time.
