Hi,
did you know August is Leukaemia Awareness month?
Can you Spot Leukaemia its a Blood Cancer?
Leukaemia patients are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed by an emergency route compared to the average for all cancer patients (37% vs 22%).
Many people aren’t aware of the signs and symptoms of a leukaemia until they or someone they know are affected. This means that people often delay in visiting their GP.
Quite often, due to the vagueness of the symptoms and relative rarity of leukaemia, people are misdiagnosed by their GP or attend several times before diagnosis. This means that there is a delay at primary healthcare.
We want to change this by raising awareness of the signs and symptoms and helping people to Spot Leukaemia. Early diagnosis saves lives.
Leukaemia can be hard to spot because the signs and symptoms are common to other unrelated illnesses. Knowing what to look out for could help you make the decision to visit your GP sooner. Early diagnosis saves lives.
The six most common symptoms experienced by all leukaemia patients prior to diagnosis are:
- Fatigue
- Feeling weak or breathless
- Fever or night sweats
- Easily bruising or bleeding
- Pain in bones or joints
- Frequent infections
If you have any further questions about Spot Leukaemia then you can contact LEUKEMIA CARE Campaigns and Advocacy team.
They are available Monday to Friday from 9:00am – 5:30pm.
If you would like to speak to them, you can:
- Call their office line on 01905 755977
- Send them an email at campaigns@leukaemiacare.org.uk
