Blood Cancer
While each type of blood cancer is different, they can share some common symptoms and signs.
Some people with blood cancer may not have any symptoms until the disease has advanced. Or they may also mistake the symptoms for a severe cold or flu.
Some common blood cancer symptoms include:
Coughing or chest pain. Possible cause is a buildup of abnormal blood cells in your spleen.
Frequent infections. Possible cause is not enough white blood cells to fight off routine pathogens.
Fever or chills. Possible cause is not enough white blood cells, leading to more frequent infections.
Unexplained rash, bruising, or bleeding. Possible cause is not enough platelets, which are the cells that help the blood to clot.
Itchy skin. Possible causes remain unknown.
Loss of appetite or nausea. Possible cause is a buildup of abnormal blood cells in your spleen so that it presses on your stomach.
Night sweats. Possible causes remain unknown.
Persistent weakness and fatigue. Possible cause is not enough red blood cells (anemia).
Shortness of breath. Possible cause is anemia.
Swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin. Possible cause is a build-up of abnormal white blood cells in your lymph glands.
