Not likely: Assuming these are your numbers and not your dad's. Remember that for a diagnosis of leukemia you should have symptoms consistent with it and the morphology of the white blood cells is critical- younger forms being usually found in peripheral blood. You do have thrombocytopenia- mild that is possibly familial, but I would suggest reducing the amount of alcohol you drink.
