WBC elevated..Does this mean surgery will be cancelled?

Well i talked to the Anasteliogist Nurse today & she said my WBC count was elevated pretty high. She asked if i was sick or have been sick & i told her i had a little runny nose, but thats it. I did also inform her that in April i had to have a Bone Marrow Biopsy due to elevated WBC. But everything came out negative & he said i was fine. He said to him he figured it was Arthritis. When i told the nurse this she said that was good to know & she wants me to get a letter from my doctor saying that my WBC are always elevated, and each test they run comes back negative. She also wants me to bring her a copy of my Biopsy with the doctors notes stating that everything is fine. She also wants the doctor to write a letter stating that i will do just fine for surgery & not to cancel it. So what do yall think? Is this possibly gonna cancel my surgery? I understand the anastheseologist will decide if they will be able to do this or not. Help!! Oh she also told me that my A1C was high too but thats due to me not taking Metformin for 2 months because my previous appt showed that my bloodwork for my kidneys came back elevated too. So my doctor told me not to take my Metformin until further notice. So now my kidney is good but my A1C is high!:smile2::crying::smile::biggrin:

No one can say wether your surgery will be canceled or not but what we can say is get all the documents asked for follow up follow up follow up. dont let it stress you out or some other kind of biological function may go outa whack just remember if your surgery is canceled then it was for a good reason and that's to get you healthy so you can start you new life healthy...Good luck and dont give up :thumbup:

Thank you Zeniada! I know theres nothing i can do about it now until next week for my PCP appt. I know what you say about not worrying about it cuz something else, God forbid, could come back negative. I have my follow up blood work on Wednesday with my PCP. On Thursday i have my appt. with the Anasthesiologist & they will go over everything with me. I just tell myself as long as i get all the info needed from the doctors then it should be okay. I know your surgery date is only a couple days away. I know you are excited. Good luck! Im looking forward to hearing from you on here how it all went!

I would just get all the info she requested from you primary Doctor. If you don't get it, I would think it may end up being canceled, because many time WBC increased means an infection. So if yours is normally increased then you probably will have to prove that, so they don't think that you have an infection.
