Leukemia is detected by using Blood and Marrow Tests A person who doesn't have leukemia has 4-10 thousand white blood cells. One patient with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) had up to **266 thousand** white blood cells. The symptoms of leukemia are similar to those of other diseases, so leukemia is often misdiagnosed.

Symptoms (not all of them show up sometimes):
 * Feeling tired and weak--loss of energy
 * Inability to fight off disease (always sick)
 * Blood doesn't clot well when you're injured
 * Dizziness
 * Constant pain in joints and bones
 * Swelling in neck and armpits
 * Pale
 * Feel warm often.
