Hi all...maybe someone can suggest something for me. Over a year ago I was diagnosed with Barrett Esophagus, having stomache pain/issues this whole time and nothing seemed to be helping. I have also been getting Migraines since I was 5 years old, I am now 27. Not sure if the headaches have anything to do with my diagnosis though. Last year my boyfriend was diagnosed with kidney failurw so I have decided to get tested to be a donor. Recently we have started the process of getting tested. Lately, the past few months my stomache issue has gotten worse and I have been sleeping all the time, about 16 hours a day. My boyfriend would joke saying I act as if I'm 80 cause I'm constantly wanting to take a nap. Two weeks ago I got all sorts of blood tests done to see about being a kidney donor. Friday September 7, 2012 I went to my primary to see how the tests were coming a long. He said things were ok. Most were normal, I had a low salt intake which he says he isn't too worried about but that my white blood cell count was high, but he didn't order more tests, he only told me to sleep it off. But that's the problem, all I've been doing is sleeping and I don't seem to be getting better. I feel as if I'm getting worse and I hate not having energy. He says I have no energy because my WBC is high. I guess I am really concerned because cancer runs in my family and Barrett Esophagus is a pre cancerous state. Could this be a sign that I am developing cancer? Please someone give me some advice.

I will be devestated if I can't donate my kidney to my boyfriend due to high WBC
