Inam assuming WCC to be a white cell count and really would not panic right now as that could be anything. It need not be cancer related...
Can be caused by a mild food allergy even... Couple of months will give you a better understanding of how bloods are doing and I keep on being told by Oncologists and breast care nurses that in the world of breast cancer couple of months of break or delay in treatment even do not make a difference.
Remember that scans on their own (as is) are harmfull so doing too many can invite not just recurrence but other cancers and I am sure that is all the GP is trying to do - protect you from potentially greater harm.
We get radiated and poisoned enough as is during active treatment that the body is needs a break so as hard as it sounds I would just hang in there and concentrate on tweaking the diet these few weeks to lower the cholesterol and to try and boost the immune system.
I know it is easier said than done but just keep on remembering that scans = tissue being radiated = increased risk of cancers so conservative approach at this stage surely is going to be better for you staying cancer free long term.
Hugs
