is it possible to have LUKEMIA if u feel totally fine???

Question

like what are the symtoms?if any? or what?

Answer 1

Yes. In the initial stages. Symptoms may not appear for a long time. However, look at the info below.
Symptoms

Like all blood cells, leukemia cells travel through the body. Depending on the number of abnormal cells and where these cells collect, patients with leukemia may have a number of symptoms.

Common symptoms of leukemia may include:

Fevers or night sweats

Frequent infections

Feeling weak or tired

Headache

Bleeding and bruising easily (bleeding gums, purplish patches in the skin, or tiny red spots under the skin)

Pain in the bones or joints

Swelling or discomfort in the abdomen (from an enlarged spleen)

Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck or armpit

Weight loss

Such symptoms are not sure signs of leukemia. An infection or another problem also could cause these symptoms. Anyone with these symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible. Only a doctor can diagnose and treat the problem.

In the early stages of chronic leukemia, the leukemia cells function almost normally. Symptoms may not appear for a long time. Doctors often find chronic leukemia during a routine checkup—before there are any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they generally are mild at first and get worse gradually.

In acute leukemia, symptoms appear and get worse quickly. People with this disease go to their doctor because they feel sick. Other symptoms of acute leukemia are vomiting, confusion, loss of muscle control, and seizures. Leukemia cells also can collect in the testicles and cause swelling. Also, some patients develop sores in the eyes or on the skin. Leukemia also can affect the digestive tract, kidneys, lungs, or other parts of the body.

Answer 2

The first symtoms are fatigue all the time, and if you think back, you will have been sick a lot, at least way more that you were five years ago. i sure hope you don't have lukemia, and if you do, i really hope that you never have to have a bone marrow transplant, becuase it's literally hell. like, you're dead, but machines keep you alive. even the smallest virus could kill you. if you want more details about exactly what lukemia does to you, let me know and i'll tell you everything. my e-mail is [e-mail] .

Answer 3

Yes it is very possible to have Lukemia and feel perfectly fine...It all depends on what type of Lukemia it is for the symptoms...you should get to your doctor ASAP and discuss your options for treatment...
Prayers are with you for a speedy recovery!

Answer 4

Large bruises that show up on your body in weird places and that you have no explanation for. That is one of the more common symptoms. Also someone who feels totally fine could still have leukemia. Leukemia is a form of cancer and the dangerous thing about cancer is that cancer is a very slow moving disease - at least until it is too late. Someone could have cancer for years and not know it. They feel fine but the cancerous cells are slowly multiplying and destroying healthy cells. By the time the cancer is found, the cancerous area is too large to safely extract, dooming the patient to a slow and inevitable death.

Answer 5

it is, in the very early stages. if you fear you might have it better see a doctor a.s.a.p., the early it's found the higher the chances are of being cured. if your doctor has any inkling that you might indeed have it, he can take blood and look for characteristic abnormalities. you might feel off-colour and tired with leukaemia because you'll become anaemic, other symptoms include unexplained bruising, bleeds, aches, unexplained weight loss and enlargement of the liver and spleen. see a doctor, this is something that needs professional attention!

Answer 6

I have had friends who went in for a routine physical, had their blood drawn and found out they had leukemia and really had virtually no symptoms before. It is just important to check your blood chemistry once a year. There was an obituary in the paper today about someone who found out he had leukemia a week before he died. Scary Huh?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
