My Childs white blood cells count are very low, is this a concern for bone marrow cancer?

SOURCE: a hemotologists finds high white blood cell count

The medical term for high levels of white blood cells in the body is leukocytosis. This condition can be caused by medications such as allopurinol, chloroform, aspirin, epinephrine, corticosteroids, quinine, heparin and triamterene. It can also be caused by infection, bone marrow diseases, tissue damage, inflammation, stress and immune system disorders that increase white blood cell production. This condition may not cause any signs or symptoms, but it can cause fever, easy bleeding and bruising, weakness, fatigue, malaise, dizziness, faintness, difficulty breathing, unintended weight loss, trouble thinking and pain or tingling in the abdomen, legs or arms.

SOURCE: do birds have bone marrow since tneir bones are hallow?

Not every part of every bone in bird skeleton is "hollow" in the sense that they contain nothing. The Hemopoeitic Marrow (the marrow that generates red blood cells) is concentrated in some bones and in other pneumatic bones (the empty bones which help in bird flight) have the marrow only at the ends or in the cancellous structure - which dominates bird bones. the cancellous bones are like the say the beam structure of the roof of industrial buildings or honeycomb. Bone fibres crisscross instead of making a solid mass like human bone.
