Jim, is the mass exactly where your pain is? If yes it will be important to treat it correctly and find the right doctor. If not, it may not be related. I also have a very high WBC count. As a result they checked me for every kind of cancer under the sun. Turns out I have Eosinophil Asthma. It was misdiagnosed as having chronic bronchitis for nearly a year because of covid. It is the most severe form of asthma. My vitamin D and magnesium levels were depleted but no one noticed. What I am saying is that your WBC count may be pointing to other inflammation in your body. Or it may be the mesentery itself.

Thank you. I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I did see a Hematologist in September on my own due to the WBC being high for so long and cancer runs in my family. They found no sign of cancer which was good news but my B12 and D levels were depleted so I started supplements. The CT reports did not mention a mass only many inflamed lymph nodes in the mesentery and a lot of inflammation on left side where all the pain is. Could the inflammation cloud other issues? GI Doc mentioned biopsy which I am nervous about the qualifications of the surgeon. When I meet him this week will be sure it is someone with experience in MP/SM.
