A member asked:

How long does it take for leukemia to show symptoms my daughter was diagnosed but her symptoms did come fully clear till she was diagnosed?

Dr. James Ball answered

Specializes in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Several weeks: Acute leukemia typically progresses over 4-8 weeks. It starts silently (no symptoms) and progresses to the point where some symptom is noted. This usually takes several weeks. Keep asking your questions. I cannot imagine what your are going through. Peace and comfort to you.
