Donna,

Even though your lab numbers don't have % symbols I believe that LY 78.9, MO 8.8, GR 12.3 refers to percentages because they add up to 100.

With that assumption, the ANC Calculator gives me these results:
WBC 2
POLY: 12.3 percent
LYMPH: 78.9 percent
MONO: 8.8 percent

Result: ANC = 246
As evansmom says, that's in the most serious category: severe neutropenia. That's not a surprise given your low WBC and it shows that you should do whatever you can to avoid infections.
