Starting treatment can feel overwhelming, and it's completely natural to feel numb when facing these next steps. Many people in this community have walked through similar experiences with elevated white blood cell counts and can share what helped them prepare mentally and practically for treatment. Consider reaching out to your care team with any questions about what to expect, and know that this supportive community is here as you navigate this journey.
