🩸 September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month

Blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, can affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system.

Being aware of possible warning signs can help encourage timely medical evaluation.

Watch for symptoms such as:

🔹 Unusual or persistent fatigue
🔹 Frequent or unexplained fever
🔹 Unexplained weight loss
🔹 Easy bruising or unusual bleeding
🔹 Swollen lymph nodes
🔹 Persistent bone or joint pain

These symptoms can have many possible causes and do not necessarily mean cancer. However, if they are persistent, recurring, or concerning, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation.

💙 Know the signs. Get checked. Take action.

🌧️ Stay Safe This Rainy Season: Know About Leptospirosis
