A member asked:

Friend had up lobe lung removed, cancer. her wbc, mchc, and mpv low. could cancer be back?

Too little data: Certainly her counts might be low if her cancer is recurrent or metastatic, but there are a host of other possible reasons. This is insufficient information to make any kind of informed statement. Perhaps she has had or is receiving therapy which suppresses her bone marrow? That would be a plausible explanation.

Unlikely: Your friend should be following up with his medical oncologist to evaluate his lab results.
