Symptoms of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

The symptoms of chronic myeloid leukemia may vary. Some common symptoms are as follows:

Fatigue
Fever
Decrease in appetite
Easy bleeding or bruising
Night sweats
Frequent infections
Pressure under the lower left ribs (caused by a swollen spleen)
Petechiae (tiny red marks on the skin)

Some of the symptoms of chronic myeloid leukemia are similar to those of the flu. However, the symptoms of CML are persistent. If you suspect you may have CML, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible. In some cases, symptoms of CML do not begin until the disease has progressed.

NOTE: These symptoms may be attributed to a number of conditions other than cancer. It is important to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis.
