Heading to the hospital

Today they will draw his blood and check his cell count. Depending on his numbers he will continue treatment.

Symptoms

ALL symptoms start when leukemia cells crowd out normal blood cells in bone marrow. The types of symptoms your child has will depend on the numbers of cancer cells and healthy blood cells.

Children with B-cell ALL may:

Bleed or bruise more easily than usual
Feel very tired
Get infections more often
Lose their appetite

Other symptoms include:

Bone or joint pain
Limping
Fever
Pale skin
Red or purple spots called petechiae on the skin
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin

If the cancer cells travel to your child’s liver and spleen, these organs can grow large enough to make the belly swell. In some boys, the testicles can also grow larger.
