| Cancer of the blood cells: the exposures that raise the risk, and the paleness, easy bruising and nosebleeds that signal it. |
| Estimated reading time: 1 minute(s) (101 words) |
This is cancer of the blood cells. Risk factors include:
- Family history of leukemia
- Radiation exposure
- Chronic viral infections
- Exposure to substances that radically alter or change the flow of blood
or its chemical consistency, including drugs or chemicals that alter the
blood chemistry; it is the use of such substances that determine its
reaction by the blood cells themselves, and addictive or chronic use would
make for a higher risk factor
The symptoms of this kind of cancer include paleness, fatigue, weight loss,
repeated infections, easy bruising, or bruising that refuses to heal, bone and
joint pain, and frequent nosebleeds.
