i've been googling a lot of my symptoms and i'm worried that i have cancer....
i know google isn't reliable.. but a lot of my symptoms do sound like i have leukemia.

i've noticed i have lost my appetite, and i have lost weight. this has been going on for a few months. when i eat i feel sick. today i went out to eat with a friend and i literally felt sick as soon as i put the food in my mouth. :/ thought i was going to throw up.

i've also found an unexplained bruise on my calf.. looks more like veins.
i've been feeling really tired and dizzy at times. i had a nosebleed for the first time. :/

my lower back has also been aching a bit.

i know i need to make a doctors appointment, but has anyone else experienced these types of symptoms?

thank you x


Obviously go to a doctors but i had most of these symptoms (apart from the nose bleed) a couple of years ago and it turned out i was just very anemic
Thats still something the doctor would need to check out
Good luck at the doctors

i had a blood test recently and they told me i'm mildly anemic, so i have been taking iron tablets. you're probably right tbh x
Just go the doctors. I would try not to worry, tbh it seems like you're over diagnosing, it sounds like it will be something (if anything) a lot less serious to me!
it's always better to be safe than sorry... always ask your doctor if you get new symptoms or if your existing symptoms get worse.
