- Excessive bruising or uncontrollable bleeding
Many leukemia patients first discovered something was wrong when bruising developed in unusual places such as the fingers and hands; some noticed bleeding gums or red spots on the face, neck and chest.
This suggests something abnormal is going on with the platelets and red blood cells which may be a sign of leukemia; over time, leukemia cells crowd out red blood cells and platelets which impairs the blood’s ability to carry oxygen and clot.
