    Did you girls read about high blood count being a sign of future cancer? I have had continuous high blood count. Is anybody else also concerned?

    I've never heard of this.  Do you have any research that says this??

    I also read the article on the home page regarding high WBC indicating the possibility of cancer.  I do know that my oncologist will request a bone scan if your white blood cell count is too high.  My WBC is lower than normal and I was worried about that but my oncologist says that may be my new normal after chemo.

    Always, yes I read that too, but can't remember where!  Also read something about fingernails having dark splotches(?).  Or was that a dream.  Undecided

    I read the article on the home page for breastcancer.org. I am right now checking my kidneys as they don't feel right. I think there is a little stone there. thanks for your reply.
