Symptoms of Leukemia

     Although Leukemia symptoms vary depending on the type of leukemia a person has, there are several common symptoms of leukemia. These symptoms include:

• Fever or chills
• Persistent fatigue or weakness
• Getting infections frequently
• Weight loss
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Enlarged liver or spleen
• Bleeding or bruising easily
• Small red spots on your skin, called petechiae
• Profuse sweating, especially at night
• Bone pain or tenderness

     Leukemia symptoms are often overlooked because of their resemblance to symptoms from the flu or other common illnesses, but a doctors appointment is needed if a person experiences these symptoms persistently.
