[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused about her diagnosis...she said she had no symptoms. is it standard to have blood tests and check white cell counts after having a baby? I don't remember that.[/quote]

Yes, I think it's pretty commonly done when the body goes through trauma like childbirth. Also any time there's a major infection, major allergic reaction, etc.

[b]I know a couple other young people who had similar stories--cancer discovered not because they had symptoms but during a routine blood test or a blood test related to some other procedure/event.[/b][/quote]

So why aren't we given blood tests for cancer as a regular part of our annual exams?[/quote]

Her leukemia would have been caught from routine blood work, eventually. [/quote]

Leukemia is caught by a routine CBC which she almost certainly had at the beginning of her pregnancy. This cancer must have flared up during the pregnancy. [/quote]

I'm the PP whose parent and cousin had the same type of cancer. Acute leukemia is considered the fastest growing type of cancer. You can have a blood test that comes back totally normal and then have one that shows extreme danger within a matter of a couple months. My parent was having fairly routine blood tests related to something else and had a normal blood test only a couple months before being diagnosed.[/quote]
