Leukemia (a type of blood cancer) can be difficult to diagnose and can be confused with other illnesses, such as the flu, due to similar symptoms. This was reported by daily mail.
Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects blood cells. Anemia occurs due to a decrease in the number of red blood cells. In this case, the person may become pale, experience weakness and dizziness.
Blood cancer also affects white blood cells, which are immune cells that fight infections. Frequent cough, swollen lymph nodes, fever, and colds that last long or are difficult to get rid of are reasons to consult a doctor. These symptoms may be harmless but may also indicate leukemia. A low white blood cell count can also lead to mouth ulcers and sore throat, according to the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS).
Another type of cell affected by leukemia is platelets. They are involved in the formation of blood clots and slow bleeding, as well as promoting wound healing. Platelet deficiency due to leukemia can cause bruising, frequent bleeding, heavy menstrual periods, and rashes.
Leukemia may also be indicated by the following symptoms: night sweats, dull or stabbing pain in joints and bones, pain in the liver and spleen (on the left side under the ribs), frequent headaches, and visual disturbances.
