Brief Answer:
Nothing to worried about blood cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Your all reports are almost normal. Slight low platelets count may be due to some infection. It will comes to normal within few days. RBC count is OK.

In my opinion there is no risk of blood cancer or terminal stage illnesses. Just be relaxed.

For relief of your mind repeat the complete blood count after 15 days. No need to worry much about that. No further testing is required. Just be relaxed.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.

Brief Answer:
You can repeat after 1 week

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

It may be due some subclinical infection so it may take a week to recover. So after a week you can do it to confirm. Or you can go after two week. It just for confirmation and peace of your mind. So don't worry much about that.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
