'What are the symptoms of blood cancer?
Some people have no symptoms, and the disease may be discovered only when a blood test is done for an unrelated reason. When symptoms do occur, they can include frequent infections, tiredness, bleeding and bruising, swollen lymph nodes (glands), a swollen abdomen, sweating or fever at night, weight loss and low blood antibody levels.'

Yes. Cancers of the blood do not show up on x-rays. Blood test are used to diagnose cancers of the blood.

Yes...x-rays show only bones and fat shadows. If the cancer is in the blood, the only test that it will really show up on is blood work.

Sure... you cant see a tumor in your blood through x rays. x rays are for bones and such. they would need to do tests.
