Could I have Leukaemia?
I've been feeling really ill for the last month. I have severe back pain and I can't touch my spine without me literally screaming in pain. I have some bruises on my arms and legs that weren't there before but its not like they are covered in them. I also recently have been getting really bad leg and arm pain. It hurts to walk and I always feel uncomfortable. I don't have my appetite anymore. I eat but I get full really easily and some food make me want to vomit that I normally love. I went to the doctor and they did a blood test and they called us back to have us return for another test and when we asked about the blood test they said they had not received it back yet but when they do they will call us with the results right away. The odd thing about this is that they called us 3 days ago and asked us to come in, they didn't say what for or anything, just a time and then after they mailed us a letter saying to come and the time and place. They also said they were going to do a test but it has absolutely nothing to do with anything I'm feeling? So could this be Leukaemia? if not what do you think it is?

It's hard to say, but it doesn't sound like cancer. Usually a suspicious test result would be called in immediately, not just mailed to you. Does that mean there isn't anything wrong? No, it just means it may not be cancer.
Personally, I would seek a second opinion if you can. Even if you don't know the results, it seems weird that they would not really be upfront about anything with you.

It could be something related to your spine thus the leg pain. I understand that they called you twice for 2 different blood tests, That is possible. Also a complete blood count is ready very fast in one day, if leukemia is present there will be alteration in your blood count, like abnormal number of lymphocytes or pallets.
Modification in the blood count are not necessarily related to cancer, but more often to infections. The good news is that you are going to get your answers pretty soon.

the indicators i imagine might want to be worse than all that, my cousin died very last yule of Leukaemia. i might want to perchance bypass on your docs and get examined for Diabetes. Diabetes situations tiredness, soreness in limbs, and decrease pores and skin can take a lengthy time period to heal. You dont must have a blood try both,they could do the try with a urine pattern as they did me. I honestly have diabetes and that i had an outstanding form of the indicators that you're experiencing. xx
