A member asked:

What would cause high neutrophil count and low lymphocyte count with a total wbc of 8? is it cancer?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No it is Not Cancer!: A WBC count of 8, made of neutrophils can not be cancer related. So you should not think about Cancer that much. If you feel well, you should ignore this report. If you want a more exact answer, then you need to send us the complete report of the numbers of cell in your CBC.
