Blood cancer question

Hi -

Does anyone have any idea about this.

I have had hundreds of little red bumps appear on my stomach, chest, upper arms and legs.  They are getting bigger.  They do not blanch when they are pushed.  My doctor says that they are genetic and are fine.  On the internet I found it could be cherry angiomas.  But I did not find any cases where hundreds appear all at once.  At this rate I will be covered in red in a year or two.  

I also have hemangiomas (I hope that is what they are - one test I had done said that is what it was, the other said mass) on my liver and spleen.  I also have unexplained blood in my urine.  Could these things taken together point to a blood disorder or blood cancer?

Someone told me that liver/spleen and red dots could mean lymphoma or lukemia.

My doc said that a CBC done in Jan was ok.  The dots have appeared since then.  

Any ideas???

Thanks!

Hemangioma are the benign growth of small blood vessel. Can be any where from liver to spleen or any other organ sometime cause from birth?
Lymphoma are cancer (malignant) of lymphnodes (they present as painless swelling of glands with sometime wt loss, night sweat, and fever)
Leukemia are blood cancer- depends up the blood type. There can be infection (anywhere), bleeding, and many other symptoms like lymphomas
