Steeliey Thu, 25 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT You need to go to the Dr. ASAP! Explain your symptoms and have a blood test done. I took my daughter to the dr on the 11th, thinking that she had mono. The next day, her test came back as leukemia. She was admitted that day and had to have two blood transfusions. Had this not been caught when it was, I would have lost her.  Champain74 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT For what it is worth there is no clear way to tell the symptoms of this disease without a test from the dr. Im living proof that a few days ago I went to the dr. complaining of my knee pain which has given me trouble most of my adult life, i thought i just needed the fluid drained off again etc. they did a standard blood test as always and within a hour i was being told I need blood products that i have A.L.L. I would have never known had i not started in with my knee pain again. I had no other symptoms etc. For your own health and safety go to the dr. asap this disease is not one that you want to make wait if possible. Mine was told to me within days ago and I have already started chemo treatments etc. Going to the dr for knee pain saved my life.Hope it helps, thanks and God Bless Tedibear79 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT
