So scared - leukemia symptoms

Hi,

I have always seemed to get bruises easily but even more so lately. I get random ones, sometimes quite big pop up on my legs, quite often round the back of the leg- which seems an odd place to appear. At the moment I have quite a lot of these random bruises, no explanation and only on my legs.

I have also been getting random mouth/gum bleeding. Sometimes it’s only when I brush my teeth but on more than one occasion I have had it happen all of a sudden on its own. I could just be sitting there and taste blood and have a small amount coming from somewhere in my mouth.

I was mildly concerned about these symptoms, but have been so distracted with things going on in the family at the moment that I wasn’t too worried... until last night when I noticed that I have what looks like a small area of Petechiae on the top of my right shoulder! symptoms point to leukemia.

My last blood test was ages ago back in March 😦

I will of course be trying to get a drs appointment tomorrow, but am so worried.
