Maybe you should just think yourself lucky that they've found it early, instead of questioning what the Doctors say.
I wish the doctors had found out that i had leukaemia sooner, rather than just saying I had glandular-fever. You don't want to get to the point where you only have 2 days to live.
I wish you all the best for your treatment.

Hi, it depends on which type of leukaemia you have and what stage it is at. If it's a 'chronic' rather than an 'acute' one your symptoms will be very different, as will be the outcome. Try the Leukaemia Care Society web site which will give you further information. If your symptoms are undetectable and only show up on blood work you probably have a better chance of beating it. Good luck.

Many leukaemias are picked up on routine blood testing, or when the patient is only complaining of vague tiredness. It is also broadly true that the older the patient is the less aggressive and the slower the progress of the disease, though there are exceptions.

My uncle had a mild heart attack and his showed up in blood tests. He says that the heart attack saved his life.
You are lucky they have caught it early.
