No: These numbers are not far from normal and may reflect a recent viral infection like common cold. If concerned, repeat in 6 months

WBC differential: Percentages matter less than the absolute counts here. And beyond absolute numbers, the morphology of the cells present is important if cancer is suspected. It is unlikely that the mix of cells you describe represent anything other than a transient reaction to some sort of recent infection or other natural event.
