Brief Answer:
Blood test results

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending your question.

If possible I would very much like to see a complete copy of your blood test. This will help me interpret the result more comprehensively.

It looks like your lymphocyte count is mildly elevated. this could represent a primary disorder related to your bone marrow. this does not necessarily reflect something which is immediately life-threatening. This might be something that your doctor will need to follow very closely over many many years.

Again I would like to see the complete copy of your blood tests. If you could somehow scan those and send those to my attention I would appreciate it.

Thanks again for sending your question. I look forward to reviewing your test results in discussing this with you further.

Dr. Galamaga
