What Does This Blood Test Report Indicate?

my labs came back with white blood count at 3.2 and platlets count at 127 --my pcp wanted me to retake in 10 days after stopping all ibprophen--2nd test came back 3.1 WBC and 135 Platetes. Now he wants me to see an oncologist. It that really necessary? Isnt there something else my PCP could do first (like other test) rather than me waste the time of an oncologis

your reports suggest a low count of WBC & Platelets.To finalise the diagnosis,you need bone marrow aspiration or biopsy in the first step.Only after this we can proceed further in your case.
