Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern regarding your lymphocytes count. You have totally normal total leukocyte count as well as absolute lymphocyte count. So you are perfectly fine. No need to worry at all. An your immunity is not affected with this count. Just be relaxed. Continue with your line of treatment.
