Question : Do I have Leukemia? What are my chances of having leukemia with these test results. My basophil results were a little high at 2.4%

Brief Answer:
Does not look like leukemia

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

From your other queries in this forum, I got hold of the complete blood count. There is no reason to suspect leukemia. Hemoglobin is a bit low for which iron pills should do. White cell count and neutro, mono, lympho all normal. So this basophil of 2.4% is to be considered normal.

This is not leukemia!

Hope this helps.
Regards
