It is but I am 62 years young and mine has been anywhere from 41000 to 57000 for 4 year now and I am on a watch and see which means check every 3 months. My doctor told me if it goes to 80000 then you may need chemo. On the other hand he said I might die of old age with it because it has'nt doubled in 1 year. Always be cautious of doctors. When I was diagnosed 3 years ago that doctor wanted me to start chemo. Now remember there is big money in it for doctors to start treating with chemo.sugession seek another opinion because I am glad I did not start chemo 3 years ago. I feel fine with no negative physical ailments and work weights and walk a lt without being tired and my 33 year old wife says I am fine in the sex dept. also.

NO, just because you have an increased WBC count doesn't mean you have leukemia. There are other things in the blood work that would need to be looked at to say for sure. Things like platelet counts, when the tech did a differental did they see blasts or inmature WBC's. Have you been sick? Fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing, bruising easy? There are a lot of things that need to be looked at before the Dr says if it is or is not leukemia.
