Unlikely: Fatigue is a symptom that overlaps with many different issues, including simple ones like inadequate restorative sleep. The cited blood count is certainly normal which would go against any leukemia. Write down your symptom pattern & any other questions you have & schedule another visit.

Health fears: Since you already have your lab results- does this mean that you have discussed the results with your doctor? If the answer is yes, I would ask if you are concerned about the input from your physician. If the answer is no, I agree with Dr. Ferguson about writing down all of your questions so you can discuss it with your provider. Would not jump to any conclusions about Leukemia.
