What Causes Fluctuating WBC Count?

Should I be concerned, or what should I do about my fluctuating WBC? I had chemo that ended April 2017. In August my WBC were 2.7, then went up to 3.4 in Dec. In early March it went down to 2.5 and last week back up to 3.4. I had no symptoms or problems at anypoint along this timeline.
