Hello Nick, 

I am so sorry to hear that you have been told the latest blood test has flagged that white blood cell reading is higher than normal. I can imagine this is rather stressful for you especially after everything you've been through following your testicular cancer diagnosis in 2021. 

It's good that they are being thorough though and that they are doing a full blood count to rule things out. It's difficult not to overthink it or anticipate the worst but as you said it migth be nothing to worry about. All you can do really for now is wait and keep distracted if you can staying away from the temptation to look anything up on Google as it could make you more anxious. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

I hope that other members of this forum who have had similar tests before will be along shortly to share their experience with you. Hopefully you won't have to wait long to get some definite answers and I am keeping everything crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing of concern. 

Best wishes,
