Hi there,
I agree with your physician. If your lab low normal, is 3.8, then 3.2 is not overly worrisome. The fact that your node was tender is actually good- makes it more likely that it was due to infection... malignant nodes are generally not tender and are hard and not movable. It sounds from your exam that it is benign. I agree you should have your bloodwork repeated in a few weeks, even just for your own peace of mind.
Good luck,

I now have a bit of soreness under my left rib cage..spleen? Is this symptom worrysome?
Also The swollen lymph node now seems to be getting smaller..does this rule out cancer?
I made a mistake actually my WBC was 3.2 with the lab showing the normal range being as low as 3.8. Everything else was normal on the CBC results.
