i am 18 years old and my doctor has just told me there is a possibility i have leukemia. i don't know if he only told me this so that when all the testing is done and its not i am very relieved or what but its kind of hard to hear that when your future is right infront of your face which i know many struggle with daily with this grim fact. anyways my white blood cell count has been high for the past 2 blood test. i am due in for a third in a month. my doctor was astonished at the levels and he mentioned they were higher than they should be even with a sickness( i had strep when the 1st one was taken). i don't really know the numbers because he didn't tell me and i haven't asked. also for the past year and a half i have been sick with numerous illnesses (pretty much for that time i have been sick out of all 18 months, 14 months). i have been so drained from it i can not function. i have missed alot of school and recently work. i am going to a ENT specialist on monday to determine if my tonsils need to be removed. i also bruise very easily. i get bruises out of the blue on parts i didn't know i injured. some are in spots i questions hard what i did. i experience very painful headaches that no otc medication can help it and they have increase in intensity over the past 6 months. i don't know if i should be highly concerned or if i am making a big deal and its something in another ball field i would like some feedback. thank you so much.
