Anyone understands lab work?

I am going Monday for surgery on my breast to rule out breast cancer. I've had this issue for abouy 7 months and the last 2-3 months have had a few bloody nipple discharge. We did mammograms, mri's,ultrasounds,etc.. Anyways my oncologist asked me to get some lab done before my surgery. I got my results bavk in a automatically release system so dr has yet to seen it but it's the weekend and im wondering about these results. I also have a chance to compare my results w my last test and all the cbc tests to 2002. I've never had any high rbc ever so this is something new to me. I'm assuming an infection?  I have a high of RBC(5.60),WBC(11.3),ABS NEUTROPHIL(8.7),AND HEMOGLOBIN(16.6). I also have percentage of some stuff but unsure if normal. 77% neutophil 6% monocycte, 16% lympocyte,and 1% eosionphil. Would anyone know what these mean? Thanks

These test results really have little to do with the breast issue you are facing but rather more a routine blood work that is usually required before any type of surgery. You might compare your results with "normal" values that are usually noted on all lab results. Rather than comparing the results to your previous lab work nearly 15 years ago you should compare them with the normal ranges contained in your report.
Best wishes for a successful surgery and a rapid recovery. Regards .....
