Childhood Cancer Signs and Symptoms - Leukaemia

In collaboration with Childhood Cancer International and the International Society of Paediatric Oncology, UICC has spearheaded a campaign targeted at primary and community healthcare workers to raise awareness of early ‘Signs and Symptoms’ of childhood cancer. As part of this campaign is a series of expert films narrated by doctors, a nurse, a cancer survivor and a parent to help improve early diagnosis of cancer, particularly in low-income countries where need is greatest.

Thank you for this. Even though I have never had cancer myself my older brother died from it when he was 2. I don't know if he was misdiagnosed at first but I know for my own health issues I was misdiagnosed many times (for me it was kidney disease .. which could have been prevented if not for many misdiagnosis when I was a kid .. I ended up losing both kidneys). So I found this video educational for both reasons: The childhood cancer part and the misdiagnosis part (it is amazing how many times you can get misdiagnosed by one doctor).

Thank you for your video my 3year old son had swoolen lymph nodes last week his legs hurt and he won't walk outside anywhere, he will run around the house Nd play but won't walk outside, he has been having night sweats and occasional sickness my Dr has said it was an ear infection and the pain is growing pains but I am getting really worried about him. Im going to call the dr again today I really hope its nothing but can see how it's easily misdiagnosed as the symptoms all relate to much minor and more common issues I am constantly worried about him and will be until I get a straight answer.

I went to the doctor today reguarding night sweats / easily bleeding through the nose / bruises on my legs / cold sweats / and VERY VERY tiredness more than usual. All this has been going in for more than a month? And the doctor blew it off and said it was a cold forming. Should I be worried or trust the doctor and take his diangnosis?

Get a 2nd opinion with another doctor. Could be nothing .. but only a doctor can tell with tests and knowing your age, history, and looking at you.
