„Am crezut că e doar oboseală”. Cancerul infantil duce în eroare părinții prin simptome specifice alergiilor sau virozelor

Cancer remains the leading cause of death among children under 15 in the UK, yet many parents feel unprepared to recognize early symptoms. Each year, around 1,900 children are diagnosed, and while survival rates have improved, early detection is crucial for less aggressive treatment. Symptoms can often be mistaken for seasonal illnesses, complicating diagnosis. Cases like Amelia's, who experienced unusual fatigue and bruising before being diagnosed with leukemia, highlight the importance of awareness. Parents are advised to consult doctors if they notice persistent or worsening symptoms, especially extreme fatigue, unexplained bruises, or unusual lumps.
