Declining Blood Counts

Declining Blood Counts

I have struggled with anemia and fatigue over the past few years.  I've had my blood tested a number of times and am wondering if the trends are reason to be concerned.  My WBC has gone from 6.8 to 5.7 to 5.3 over the past 5 years.  Likewise, my other tests have done the following:
RBC 4.75 4.34 3.89

Plt 223 217            186

Neut 68 63.8 58

and my lymphocytes have increased from 22 to 29.2 to  36.5

I am concerned about Hairy Cell Leukemia but don't want to tell my doctor's what to do.

Thanks for any thoughts.
