Hello, @majid12 ‘You have leukemia” are words that put fear in our hearts and clips us off at the knees. My husband and I had similar news and reaction 3 years ago when I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia out of the blue! While it’s a formidable foe, with treatment it is definitely survivable.

Some of the symptoms you’ve mentioned can be classic signs of leukemia. But there are many types and there needs to be a confirmed diagnosis so your wife can begin treatment as soon as possible.

Her next step will be to see a hematologist/oncologist who specializes in blood disorders. She’ll also have more bloodwork done and possibly a bone marrow biopsy to get to the ‘blood manufacturing center’ of her immune system. That can give the best view of the health of her blood cells.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, I’m here for you. Has your wife seen a hematologist yet?
