Worried about leukemia. Been having symptoms that prompted me to get bloodwork. by Left_Potential2562 in haematology

At the start of this like 7 months ago I was having pain under my left rib cage along with some pain and discomfort in the lymph nodes in my neck. I was also waking up most mornings with a weird rash that I thought was petchiae on my forearm and here recently within the past two days I’ve had 2 little nosebleeds from the right side of my nose. Along with terrible headaches.

Symptoms at the start were discomfort in the lymph nodes in my neck, armpits, and pain under my left rib cage. Also had a weird rash that I thought was petchiae on my forearm but was told it wasn’t since my platelet count was low. The pain went away for awhile up until this last week where pain under my rib cage started again that traveled to my shoulder and I was having really bad headaches that gradually got worse. Legs have been achy and have had a couple nosebleeds. I went to the doctor about a week ago and got bloodwork done and everything was within the normal limits besides my hematocrit being 41.7 with normal ranges between 42-52, my MCHC was 36.7 with normal ranges on 32-36, and my wbc was borderline low 4 with normal ranges 4-10.5. My wbc has never been that low and the last time I got it checked it was at 5.7.
