Lukemia? blood test normal

Hi all, I'm 27 year old female. For about 2 months now I have experienced unexplained bruises, mainly on my thighs and hip toward my back. Once they go... more come back! I have also got small red flat dots on my abdomen and thighs also. The bruising and spots do not hurt. I just wake up and they are there. They are big bruises as if I have been in an accident and broken a bone! I also have alot of joint pain mainly down my left side. Feels like I need to stretch constantly to get rid of the aches. I dont feel myself, very light headed, tired all the time, and just generally unwell..I have had loads of bloods done and all have come back as normal and doctors have told me it's just one of those unlucky things and to not come back! I wasnt happy, as surely doctors are meant to help you get to the bottom of things.. my question is.. could it still be lukemia even though bloods are normal? Something isnt right with my body.. it's not normal to bruise the way I do. 

  • Hi there

    I would take comfort in the fact that the blood tests all came back ‘normal’. So your doctor is right. My niece is always covered in bruises, has been like this for about 15 years, she’s had every test going and nothing is showing up abnormal, it’s just one of those things. Your joint pain, aches etc may be down to something completely unrelated but whatever it is the blood tests suggest nothing is amis cancer wise.

  • Hello,

    I'm so taken aback by this post, it's as if I've written it myself! I'm experiencing the exact same at the moment and struggling to find answers. Blood results came back totally normal today and I'm at a loss of what to do. My bruising is horrific, I'm black and blue across both my inner thighs and cannot explain it.

    Did you ever find the cause?
