Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Low grade fever with high sedimentation rate can be due to tuberculosis or some other cause. Possibilities of cancer is very low with low wbc count. So don't worry about that. Investigate for tuberculosis and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
