Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
symptoms of leukemia are fever, weight loss, weaknesses, liver and spleen enlargement etc.
Your total count is high but you should go for differential count and peripheral smear examination. Whether you have blast cells or not. Please send me your reports. So that I can help you further.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
