Symptoms of LEUKEMIA
Fatigue, shortness of breath and generalized weakness are all common symptoms attributable to the anemia which can occur with leukemia. Due to the lack of red cells, it is difficult or impossible to transport enough oxygen to various organs. Fever, night sweats and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, groin or armpit occur. Due to disturbances of normal cell production, excessive bleeding and easy bruising may occur. Swelling and tenderness in the upper right or left side of the abdomen may occur due to enlargement of the spleen or liver. Weight loss and bone pain may also occur.
