I think my child had leukaemia

[Phillycheesesteak]

His cousin had it and was the same. Pale, feels warm but no temp, crying all the time.

How old is your dc? You can't diagnose them yourself...take them to the doctor. I hope all is ok.

Eh?

Had or has? Have you alerted your GP?

His cousin died of it. My child is 2. Its dawned on me today he has the same symptoms

Call the doctors and get an appointment. Hopefully it's just a viral thing and he will be ok.

I know I cant diagnosis it myself. fucking hell

Those symptom could be so many things. If you're concerned, you need to get in touch with your go for tests but they'll want to rule out other causes first

How long it’s likely some form of infection blood tests should clear things up

The symptoms of leukaemia are the same as many other, far less scary diagnoses. Your child could be getting chicken pox for example or a cold.

Please don't panic - that doesn't help anyone. Give your little one fluids, lots of cuddles and food if they want it. And tomorrow phone the GP

It's a virus or teething OP.

Pls try not to worry

Pale, feels warm but no temp, crying all the time - this could be many many other less serious illnesses. Make an appointment with your GP.

It’s highly unlikely to be leukaemia. He’s most likely got a cold or something brewing.

If you’re worried, seeing your gp is the right course of action.

Those symptoms could point to so many illnesses. Please don't jump to the worst case scenario immediately. I do understand, as I am a worrier too. But it is far more likely to be something ordinary and mild.

Its gone on for weeks

Have you tried to get a doctors appointment?

If it's gone on for weeks then you should of already seen a doctor, what did they say?

It's on and off
I've spoken to the health visitor but they weren't bothered really

I will book an appointment this week

This is panic setting in OP - your thoughts are being flooded with worse case scenarios.

Get him seen by a GP as soon as you can but you must, for his sake, keep on top of your thoughts. You must.

As a op said, his symptoms could be explained by a number of things. Try and stay calm and get him seen.

I appreciate why you're anxious about the symptoms, but they sound exactly like my children when they were teething, and yes, went on for weeks at a time. Please see a gp for reassurance.

Well when does it stop? Hes throwing himself on the floor, refusing to walk, diarrhoea

The 2 year molars can be grim

Sounds like teething, but definitely go to the GP for reassurance. You are understandably very anxious.

Its most likely to just be a virus OP. Theres many mant things it could be before leukaemia, dont panic. Many toddlers cry all the time and it could just be his age. Feeling warm doesnt really mean anything.

Make a drs appointment, get him seen. But try not to worry before you need to

I think, given the loss of your child's cousin, that it is understandable that you are worrying about this.
Get your little one booked in at the GP as soon as you can, and explain that this is what you are worried about. Hopefully you can be reassured that it is not leukaemia, and if God forbid, it is, he can get onto being treated straight away.
It's more likely to be something much less nasty.
