Do I have Leukemia!? Please help!!!

Please I'm so scared right now. I'm 35 and for close to 2 years now I've been having frequent nose bleeds which are intense at certain periods and later stop. About six months ago, I started feeling an upper right abdominal discomfort in addition to an abdominal fullness. I also have frequent diahrrea and occasional spasms almost all over my body. I have also been generally feeling ill with aches in my joints, some pain in my bones and occasional headaches. Just 2 weeks ago, I started noticing some blood spots under my right hand. I have seen an ENT, done a CT Scan of my head, a LFT , an ESR and a CBC. The tests are all okay but the LFT showed my direct bilirubin was slightly elevated; the CBC showed my RDW was slightly elevated, the MCHC was slightly low and the Monocytes was very high at 16.9% (upper limit of normal range is 10%). I have been to an ENT and did a CT Scan of my head and the result was normal. I also have had painless nodes under my jaw which have never increased in size in the last 3yrs. I once had a dark patch over my left eyelid for close to a year but it disappeared last year.  I am very worried right now and do not know what to expect. Could this be leukemia? Someone please help

Hi:  Your message is not clear enough.  It does sound like you have something going on, but it does not have to be Leukemia.  You need a complete blood work done.   I can only share with you what my experience was.  I was feeling absolutely fine,and went for my yearly blood test.  They found a elevated WBC, and then it was repeated with another increase showing.  They decided to do a bone marrow biopsy to get to the bottom of my problem right away, and found that I had Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia.  If you want to be sure then see a Oncologist.  You can send me a message anytime.  I hope everything turns out good for you.
