Do I have leukemia?

Hi,
I'm concerned about a few symptoms I've been having of Leukemia but don't know if it is that or what to say to the doctor. 
Symptoms include:
Frequent headaches 
Frequent nosebleeds (I've had 7 in 5 days)
Extreme fatigue 
Bone pain
Weakness across body
Chest pain
Nausea
Mouth ulcers
I've had this for a few months now but blood tests have never show anything but seen that sometimes it doesn't show in blood test as its bone marrow focused. 
I don't know what to do and how to go about it. 
Can I get some advice please?

    Hello, so sorry you are going through this, but only your Doctors can diagnose you.  If it's any consolation, there are many illnesses that mimic the signs of cancer.  Please see your Doctor and be forceful with your concerns.  I know that this is often difficult, but sometimes we really have to fight to get our health concerns taken seriously.  Good luck.
