“Are there any symptoms of blood cancer?”
My mom's family has a history of cancer, unfortunately. How can she help herself and others be aware of the symptoms of blood cancer?

Blood cancers are usually found on routine blood tests. This can be done by the primary care physician
To pick it up early she could have flow cytometry every 6 months. It is a simple blood test. There are markers of many hereditary cancers that might be helpful
bleeding, bruising, anemia, bleeding as brushing her teeth, decrease urine (usually happens due to side effect of leukemia we call her tumor lysis), shortness of breath due to anemia. Get CBC with diff with your PCP and then you do not need to be anxious.
