Hello and welcome to HCM,
Lym is acronym for lymphocytes.
Lymphocytes are one of the white blood cells and their normal range is between 20-40 percent.
Currently, 0.6% lymphocyte is quite low.
Two months ago, 14.4% lymphocytes is also on lower side.
The value of 0.04 and 1.11 is the absolute value of lymphocyte.
However, it is important to know total white blood cell count and differential count to comment on the level of lymphocytes.
Kindly, post your complete report for interpretation.
Thanks and take care
