What Are The Different Leukemia Symptoms?

The main symptoms of leukaemia are anaemia, frequent bruising, infections and abnormal bleeding.

Leukaemia is a cancer of the white blood cells.  Just as there are many different types of white blood cell, so there are many different types of leukaemia.   There are two main types: lymphocytic leukaemia (arising from a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte) and myeloid leukaemia (arising from an immature type of white blood cell called a myeloid stem cell).

Leukaemias are also divided into the slower (called chronic) and faster growing (called acute).  There are chronic and acute forms of both the lymphocytic and myeloid leukaemias.  Chronic leukaemia cells tend to accumulate in the blood whereas acute leukaemia cells tend to accumulate in both the blood and bone marrow.  All blood cells start their life in the bone marrow.

Om 06-28-07 hematology Neut reading was 5.35. on 07-02-07 reading was 1.14 also on the last date the Lymph was 1.14 and Mono 2.13. all of these reading are well outside the normal ranges.
