I am sorry to hear about your concern, but I will be happy to assist you.
A high wbc count may result from an infection or leukemia. A person is at an increased risk of infection if his/her wbc count drops below 1,000 cells per microliter.

I'm a breast cancer survivor. Dx with papillary carcinoma and dcis in july 2018. Staging and grade were questionable due to mishandling of the lumpectomy. Under went 1 lumpectomy, 1 recession with sential node dissection. Also received 16 rounds of radiation and placed on tamoxifen for 5 years commencing in nov. 2018. Period ceased due to medical menopause in august 2019. As of april 5th I started spotting and it became extremely heavy on april 9th and am still bleeding 17 days later. On april 15th I reached out to my medical oncologist for advice and was immediately taken off of tamoxifen and sent to the hospital for further investigation. I had blood drawn, a pelvic exam and a repeat ultrasound. (i had one done in feb of 2020 showing 2 fairly large cysts measuring 3.3 cms and 4.6 cms one on each ovary. At this time my endometrium was showing thickening measuring at 22 mm.) the recent ultrasound showed the adnexal cysts had decreased bin size the largest is now 3.3 cms but is showing cystic changes and my endometrium is now showing double layer with thickening of 20. 6 mm with some peripheral vascular. I've been taking 3g tranexamic acid since april 16 and although it has slowed the flow a bit it's still bright red and am still passing clots. I'm now about to run out of tranexamic acid medication tomorrow, i'm afraid how much the bleeding will be once the meds are done. I've been referred to a gone but haven't received a call yet. I have been told they cannot rule anything out yet as I need the expertise of a gyne. I'm not trying to scare myself but i'm anxious and it would greatly help to know what my odds are that this is malignant. I find going in totally blind causes me more anxiety and stress than knowing that this may be a real possibility. What do you suggest? Also anything I should look out for if the bleeding gets worse? I'm on tylenol 3 for the pain but it's not helping and it gets so severe I throw up. Please help!

Tamoxifen may cause thickening of the lining of uterus, which may cause heavy bleeding at times. It may help to see your gynaecologist, who may suggest for a d&c (dilatation and curettage) procedure, before being sure of what we are dealing with and how to delay with it. For any further queries, please contact.
