   It depends on what type of Leukemia your talking about.
   Chronic leukemia: Early in the disease, the abnormal blood cells can still do their work, and people with chronic leukemia may not have any symptoms. Slowly, chronic leukemia gets worse. It causes symptoms as the number of leukemia cells in the blood rises.
   Acute leukemia: The blood cells are very abnormal. They cannot carry out their normal work. The number of abnormal cells increases rapidly. Acute leukemia worsens quickly.
   The main symptoms are:
   Increased infections
   Night sweats
   Fatigue
   Malaise (vague feeling of bodily discomfort)
   Abnormal bleeding
   Excessive bruising
   Weakness
   Reduced exercise tolerance
   Weight loss
   Bone or joint pain
   Infection and fever
   Abdominal pain or “fullness”
   Enlarged spleen, lymph nodes, and liver
   Leukemia that has spread to the brain may produce central nervous system effects, such as headaches, seizures, weakness, blurred vision, balance difficulties, or vomiting.
   In that case, you must see your doctor right away and get some blood tests done, because the sooner it’s caught, the better chance of recovery.
