Depends on the lab you had your tests drawn, but at Quest, the WBC normal range is 3.8-10.8 (thousand /ul)
RBC normal values 3.8-5.10 (million/ul)
Platelets 140-400 (thousand u/l)
From what I've learned here (if I learned it right) the WBC isn't as important as absolute neutrophils (ANC), and the RBC isn't as important as the total hemoglobin.
Platelets are low by any measure, I think.....talk with your doctor. Are you on treatment yet?
Good luck, it sometimes sounds worse than it is...............
