A member asked:

I have suspect that i have lymphoma or leukemia from childhood or im born with my current age is 17 im male having hbg 14 tell me what test i shall do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why do you ask?: Leukemia and lymphoma are not chronic illnesses. Untreated leukemia tends to kill a child in a few weeks. Non-hodgkin's lymphoma is rare at your age and hodgkin's will make itself obvious. Your fatigue and sense of being weak require evaluation both from a physical and emotional perspective.
