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
- Pain across the entire body
- Headache
- Black, shiny stool
- 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?
- Do you have body-wide pain?
- 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.
