The Number-1 Sign of Leukemia Doctors Say You Should Know

Summary: Many people think leukemia is a childhood cancer, but it actually happens most often in adults over 55. Doctors say the number-one warning sign is a group of clues called "B symptoms." These include constant fevers, chills, drenching night sweats, and losing weight without trying.

Another major red flag is extreme, merciless fatigue that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. Swollen, painless lymph nodes can also be a sign. If you are feeling this kind of deep exhaustion along with night sweats or weight loss, don't just brush it off as a busy week or getting older. Call your doctor to get checked out.
