Leukaemia worry - 21 years old

Hi,

im a 21 year old female and suspect I have leukaemia. I have been suffering from Petechiae on my chest a couple of times, suffered intense night sweats at my boyfriend's house a couple of nights ago and always sweat during my sleep anyway. I've also been bruising on my legs and had EXTREMELY achy leg muscles and been sleeping a lot the past few days. I've been fatigued. I can't see what else these symptoms would be from.

I went for blood tests a couple of days ago and am dreading the results, I already know it's bad news. I can't stop crying and the thought of not being able to spend years with my boyfriend is breaking my heart. Please can someone offer me some reassurance. I can't deal with this.

Dear Sophiej,
The more you're worrying the worse your symptoms will become so no wonder you're feeling exhausted & achey. Wait until the blood results come back.
If it is what you're dreading, & that's a very big if, lots of leukaemia in your age group is very treatable so you & your boyfriend will just tackle it full on. You'll be amazed how strong you are xx
