Question
Does my child have leukemia? Do we need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long is the treatment process expected to take?
Answer
Early symptoms of leukemia often include anemia, manifested as pale skin, a feeling of weakness, excessive sweating, and shortness of breath during activity or rest. Symptoms may worsen over time. Severe anemia often suggests a more serious condition of leukemia. In addition, headache, nausea, vomiting, paralysis, and loss of consciousness are neurological symptoms resulting from leukemia invasion of brain cells and meninges. If these discomforting symptoms occur, it is recommended to undergo a check-up and seek medical treatment promptly.
