His last visit with doctor was at the Moffitt ( for second opinion) last November, his blood test was on December 4, his last test showed WBC 127, since 12/04 to 12/11 he lost 3 lb, something is really going on and I think Watch and Wait approach is not working. His appointment with oncologist hematologist is in Jan. but I am afraid to wait another three weeks.

@sveta25 Am I understanding this correctly ,that your husband hasn’t physically been seen by a physician since his 2nd opinion at Moffitt, last November, as in a year ago?

Much can happen in a year’s time.

I would strongly suggest you call his oncology office, explain the rapid weight loss and insist on an appointment soon. They may suggest a CBC with differential, which will give a clearer picture of the composition of his white count.
Do you know if there was a peripheral blood smear or if he was tested for blasts in his peripheral blood?
