Leukemia is a cancer of the body's blood cell-forming tissues. Blood cells circulate in our bloodstream and are created and matured in the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. Leukemia involves white blood cells and lymphatic cells and has several types. The cancerous cells are produced in excess and do not function normally. Leukemias can be aggressive and cause symptoms or chronic and smolder for years.
Typical Symptoms of Leukemia
- Fatigue that is worst in the morning
- Nosebleed
- Purple rash
- Black, shiny stool
- Headache
- Pain across the entire body
- Decrease in ambition and motivation
- Dizziness
Diagnostic Questions for Leukemia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you feel more tired in the morning?
- Is your nose bleeding?
- Do you have purple skin spots?
- Are your stools black and shiny like hair?
- Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
Treatment of Leukemia
Treatment of leukemia is complex and variable; slow-growing leukemias may need monitoring and not require active treatment. Treatment options for aggressive leukemias include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem-cell or bone marrow transplant.

FAQs
Q.
Are There Early Symptoms of Leukemia?
A.
Leukemia can have early symptoms, but they are often vague and easily mistaken for other common illnesses such as a cold or flu. This makes early diagnosis challenging, highlighting the importance of seeking medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
