Is a low white blood cell count a sign of cancer?

I just got my bloodwork results back because I have been exceptionally tired/drained for about 4 months now. I am concerned with the results and wanted to seek additional information.
The test reads LOW WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT = 3.6 (x10E3/uL)
It also reads low sodium, ferritin and Vit D.
My only health issue is Ulcerative Colitis that I have had now for 5 years but has been mostly under control. I do have an extrememe family history of colon cancer. I have had yearly colonoscopies come back normal.
also, my red blood cell count is 4.09 (x10E6/uL) and the results for Neutrophis are low @ 1.6
Is this a sign that I may have cancer????
