Symptoms of Blood Cancer

RE: Symptoms of Blood Cancer Post by susanmajp (684) | (02/23/2008) Profile | Contact It would depend on the type of leukemia and how far along you are. Symptoms might be as vague as some lumps in the lymph nodes, tiredness, and/or sensitivity to the cold. Symptoms that others have listed usually occur only after the disease has progressed a while. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing until examination, tests, surgery, and/or biopsy are done. Symptoms often mimic other things. Two people with the same cancer will even have differing symptoms. When you go to the doctor, be as thorough with background as you can. My husband's general practitioner, his surgeon, and all this pathology reports (markers) pointed in one direction--and they all told us the same thing. Because of one thing we told the oncologist at the first meeting, he did more lab work, and it turned out to be a totally different type of leukemia than initially thought. Take things one step at a time. God bless. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Symptoms of Blood Cancer Post By Dean (Guest Post) (02/22/2008) Bllod cancer is also known as Leukemia.
