Is it possible to have leukemia even with normal CBC with diff?

I'm having bone pains that are worse without movement, night sweats, and a few small red dots I have previously never noticed.

Hi, it should help if you understand why a cancer of blood cells typically creates small dots like petechiae. The blood cancer cells get into the bone marrow and 'crowd out' the production of platelets. But if your platelet number is normal, then that's not the case for you.
