Hi everyone,

after some advice. My 3 year old has been suffering with chest infections since Nov 2020, he was given antibiotics which didnt clear, he had a blood test and showed low white blood cells and that he is anemic. He was asked for a repeat test 2 weeks later which still showed low cells. We have since had 2 futher tests and his count is still low so we have been referred to a childrens specialist hospital. Over the last couple of weeks he has lost his appetite, has a lost a little weight. He gets really hot and sweaty when he falls asleep. He complains of stomach pains nearly everyday. Ths hosp xrayed him and said it showed inflammed lung but said that was due to a chest infection. I know i shouldnt google but all the symptoms are showing leukemia, my question is, would leukemia be picked up on the blood test or would further tests be needed? any advice would be appreciated while i wait for our referral.
