I have had really bad bruising especially on my legs and arms that started about 2 months ago, and also some in my stomach area . It has been noticed by others. I had a nosebleed a few days ago which I have never had happened before. My grandfather died from a blood disorder which I believe turned into leukemia, but he was 71 when he passed. Is leukemia hereditary? I do have a Dr appt next Friday but should I try and get in sooner?
