Can you have Leukemia and not know it?

Answer 1

Individuals dying from asymptomatic cancer is highly unlikely, as cancer symptoms are almost always present, particularly in the last few weeks of life.

That's why it is important for every woman to learn how to do a breast self-exam, to detect any cancer or other anomaly as early as possible. If you find anything that doesn't feel right, check in with a medical professional. Your doctor may also recommend that you have a mammogram to aid in early detection, depending on your age and other risk factors.
