Brief Answer:

Bone marrow and pet ct scan

Detailed Answer:

Hi

I have gone through your reports

As you are not having any infection but lymphocytes are high would advise you to do a bone marrow test and a pet ct scan to rule out leukemia or lymphoma

If in scan any space occupying lesion found then biopsy needs to be done to rule out cancer

In bone marrow test if leukemia present then abnormal cells will be seen

I am now scared to death because of your response. No doctor is going to order those expensive tests.
