Hi!
Since your WBC counts are raised since last 2 years,and oncologist has examined and cleared you so you dont need to worry at all because I can think of only benign reasons for this.
infection is a common cause of leukocytosis and Inflammation is another common cause of leukocytosis..
Leukocytosis may occur when your immune system reacts too strongly. This may happen during an asthma or allergy attack.
Some medicines may cause leukocytosis. Ask your doctor if your medicines may cause leukocytosis.
Leukocytosis may also occur if your body goes through emotional or physical stress. This may happen if you push your body too hard, like during extreme exercise and illness can also cause your body to be stressed.Hope this will help you!Take care!
