What kind of results for exp. would a blood report show if you had leukemia?
I had a normal neutrophil blood count the next month it was elevated. The lymphocytes were just a little low & then they went really low the next month also. My dr. didn't seem worried at all, but online it says it's one of the things to do with leukemia. My wbc was normal as were the platelets. Would everything in my blood show leukemia would it all be out of range?

If you have leukemia, your overall WBC would be elevated- typically VERY VERY elevated. You also would have clinical symptoms. A normal WBC with elevated neutrophils just means your body is working on some minor bug. The drop on lymphocytes is probably proportional to the increase in neutrophils.
If you had leukemia you would have an extremely high WBC and an extremely high number of ONE type of whit blood cell - the type would depend on which type of leukemia you had. Stop worrying.

In the Blood -- Leukemia
Leukemias are cancers of the blood - what scientists call "liquid tumors" -- unlike the solid tumors in the tissues attacked by other cancers. George Daley has dedicated his career to cracking the mysteries of leukemia. He has had limited success and is now doing research on the use of stem cells from a patient's bone marrow.All 50 Secrets of the Sequence videos have an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. Each lesson includes background information, state and national science standards, discussion questions and answers, teacher notes and an activity that will ensure a hands-on, "minds-on" experience.
