I was in the ER for nausea and headache, and my blood test showed high neutrophils (33, 0-10). They suspected a blood infection and ordered more tests. I'm worried about possible causes like leukemia or cancer. My symptoms have improved, but I'm still concerned. What are the possible causes of high neutrophils, and should I be worried about cancer?

My mother is 87 years old and has swollen ankles going up her leg. Her doctor says it is due to old age and edema, but an acupuncturist has told her it's her lymphatic system. She has had all the tests to check for any blockage and all have come back negative. Can the lymphatic system affect her ankles and legs?
