A member asked:
Besides testing, can you tell if you have leukemia by looking at your own blood? would it look more watery? what does leukemic blood look like?

Microscope: Just by looking at your blood if you cut yourself, no. It should be examined under a microscope.

No: That is certainly not the way to diagnose leukemia! consulting a physician for appropriate testing is the way to go.
