Leukemia unlikely: It is unlikely that you have leukemia. What was the count on repeat testing? Bruises on the legs can be from many different reasons and you would need to see a doctor for evaluation. However, if you are overweight, it would help to lose weight (easier said than done). For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
