How would you know if you definitely have leukemia if you have almost all the symtoms?
I have almost all the symtoms but my parents don't believe in going to the doctor unless it is definitely apparent that you are dieing. So how would I really know what is going on? I would sneak out but my parents watch me like a hawk.

If you are in school talk to a councelor or school nurse- if you are sick nobody should deny you proper treatment.

See a doctor, if you had lukemia you wouldnt be able to get out of bed you would be so ill. A doctor would confirm it tho, its all to do with the white blood cells. If i was you i wouldnt go round telling people you think you have it, you should think yourself lucky you have your health and not obsess about this.

You would know if you defintely had leukemia if your doctor told you you had leukemia.
You don't have leukemia because you think you might or you matched your symptoms up on a website somewhere.
You have it when the doctor says you have it and even then, you go for a second and third opinion, as even they can get it wrong.
