 Hello,
I hope your doctors have reached a diagnosis.
I think you probably are being paranoid. The excessive bleeding and the bruising point towards a hemostatic defect (clotting or coagulation problem).
The bleeding would obviosly lead to anemia if severe enough. I think your blood counts would have probably shown some abnormality if your bleeding was a result of leukemia.
That said I cannot rule anything out as you clearly can understand.
Best regards.
