Stop worrying: Lab reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside. Follow the platelets. Get scoped to be sure you do not have another colon cancer -- I trust you do this anyway. Have your physician call the lab and find out what variant lymphs are all about with their machine. Best wishes
