I'm Pretty Sure I Have Leukemia. I Am A 22

I'm pretty sure I have leukemia. I am a 22 year old female and the past few days I have been having leukemia symptoms. So let me describe the feeling. I'm sorry to use graphic terms but this will help. I have a small discomforting pain right under my left breast and right under my left ribcage, at the very top. It started out with just me noticing that it was there and now it actually stabs me at times. I'm pretty sure what's happening is my spleen is pushing into my stomach causing my stomach to be pushed onto my rib cage at the front. It feels like just a discomforting feeling, almost like a blob that could be popped but never will be. I tried moving around but nothing helps. I've pushed on the area so much, I think it made it worse. When I kept researching a lot of things came up like IBS and stuff like that but as you can tell from my description, I'm not dealing with my colon here, it's my stomach! I'm talking like the very top too, which would make sense why my spleen would be pushing my stomach onto my ribcage. I'm also having some back pain, like in my back right where my spleen would be located.

Unfortunately, I'm way too scared to go to the doctor and so I'm just sitting at home alone freaking out. I've basically ended my life since if my spleen is enlarged and if it is leukemia then it would be chronic leukemia, which there is no cure for. I'm just freaking out. I keep telling myself it's gas but the bubble feeling never goes away so it couldn't be gas. Any idea if there is any hope of this NOT being luekemia?
