Cancer unlikely: If you need further clarification do feel comfortable about discussing the results further with your doctor, it will not be out of line and a proper explanation will help to put you at your ease. take care.

Not a screening tool: A CBC by itself is not a very good screening tool for cancer. The results you reported are not consistent with a blood cancer and beyond that it provides little evidence either way. If your listed anxiety disorder makes you worry continually about cancer, or anything else, work on the issue with a therapist who can confer with your doc to see if or when additional studies would be worthwhile.
