Possible leukemia?

My platelets dropped from 281 to 182 within less than a month. I have had unwanted bruisings without cause, I feel weak, always tired, fatigued, and lightheaded. My prothrombin time is 13.9 and my d-dimer is at 200. I have also been seeing little red/purple spots on my skin here and there. My WBC dropped from 7.4 to 4.8 as well.

Your lab trends are non-specific and causes can range widely from benign to malignant, however, your clinical history certainly warrants further work-up.
