If you have your father's blood count lab report then you can compute your ANC from his white blood cell count and other numbers in the report, as long as the blood tests they did include the "differential" test that Marlene refered to. That means that they counted the various types of white cells, not just the total white cells. They tell you how many neutrophils, how many lymphocytes, etc., or tell you the percentages of each of these types of cells.

You can use our ANC Calculator to help you. Or, if you don't mind sharing your father's lab results, post them here and we'll help you figure out the ANC. Look for the WBC and any lines that say polymorphonucleocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, or monocytes. Sometimes they use abbreviations like POLY, PMN, NEUT, SEGS, BANDS, EOS, BASO, LYMPH, or MONO instead of the long names.
