Worried about blood cancer

I’ll preface this by saying I have a mild form of health anxiety and as DH has been unwell
lately (stroke and heart issues) I may be completely off the mark with concerns my 13 DS has a blood cancer.

Things concerning me are:
⁃ Tiredness - although that got a lot better after introducing an iron supplement
⁃ Very lean but eats loads all the time - is growing taller but not bigger outwardly
⁃ Very mild rash on his torso - it’s been there months and can only see it in some lights
⁃ Recent bouts of a bad cold which caused dizziness and now seems to have some sort of sickness bug that caused a high fever

There is no bruising or raised lymph nodes that I can see. DH says nothing of concern there but I just feel worried.
