I am a 71 year old female who had a cbc done 2 days ago. everything was good but my platelet level was 40 what could that mean. is it for sure lukemia

Low platelets: Low platelets (thrombocytopenia) can be caused by a variety of issues. Not for sure leukemia. Further evaluation and work up by a hematologist would be highly recommend.
