Thank you ever so much for that information. I do feel a bit better about it. I did attempt a clean catch so to speak. What got me worried was the relationship there may or may not be with regards to my throat. I get tested every 6 months and biopsy during endoscopy. So... that was the source of me being frightened. I did look up the words, and all openings of the body have those cells. My dad died of throat cancer, and it wasn't a good death. That I guess was the root of my worry. I have been on and off sick since the middle of Feb. Even got sick on vacation. Other parts of the work up I received do show elevated White blood cells as well. I guess I am fighting off some kind of infection for which cipro did nothing. I will call the doctor first thing Monday, and repeat the testing of that I am sure he will want. I do thank God for this site, as we all try to calm each other down when presented with a problem. I think when a person has chronic conditions, it is easy to make the situation worse than it really is. Being rational flies right out the window, and you panic before you know for sure what is going on. Thank you again for calm thoughts sent to me. ginnie
