No: Why you worry about cancer? These result could be due to recent viral infection or after "cold" and just have temporary effect. Give yourself few days of rest and see what happen. Be well.

Just got my CBC back and WBC is 3.1. Lab cutoff is 3.5. The past two years my WBC was 3.6, so I tend to trend low. I've been reading about low WBC and cancer keeps popping up and I'm very worried. Could this be an early cancer sign?

My recent lab work shows low WBC 3.1, high monocyte 13.1%, ANC 1.9, and low platelets 136. 2 months ago my WBC were 6.0, monocytes 7%, ANC 5.0, and platelets 123. This seems like a big difference to me. Should I be concerned? No recent med changes?

16 y/o son with low WBC (3.3). All other values on CBC and CMP normal. Previous labs in 2018 showed WBC at 3.9. Mother and sister have history of low WBC but never below 3.5. Will repeat test but terrified about the possibility of cancer. Thoughts?
