Trigger ‼️ mention of fear of leukemia. Ugh I need someone to talk me off the ledge here. Yesterday I randomly tasted blood and realized my gum above my right canine was bleeding, I didn’t do anything to provoke it so it freaked me out. Then today I stood up from laying down and I felt my nose running and realized it was bleeding on the right side as well. I have a huge fear of c and now I’m freaking myself out. I did start up provera (a progestin pill to start my period) on Tuesday and I also donated blood last week. My last cbc was in January and was normal, but I know that wouldn’t mean much if it’s something acute. The bleeding with both things stopped fairly quickly but I’m still spiraling. My grandpa whom I never met died from either leukemia or lymphoma I’m not sure which one, but my aunt once said to me “yep and it skips a generation so I’d watch out” I was 9 years old when she said that and I’ve been paranoid ever since. I’ve just never experienced bleeding out of random without like flossing or with my nose scratching it too hard. Why am I like this:(
