What Are The Symptoms Of Leukemia?
My friend sara was cleared of leukemia two years ago this month. She is seventeen now. Over the past month she has lost 14 pounds, has pain in her side and back, and even woke up with a bruise once. Could this be leukemia coming back? What are the biggest tell-tale symptoms?
