Please tell me the sypmtoms, or have I already covered it? This is for personal reasons.
Leanne is a troll with a different fake medical complaint for every day of the week. She asks what the symptoms are for various physical and mental illnesses, then tells everyone that she has them, then claims that God cures them. Anyone who questions the truth of her claims gets vicious hate mail, some of which has been posted all over Yahoo Answers.

When a gentle form of chemotherapy using decitabine is used a new study showed this to e very beneficial to patients with pre leukemia. Pre leukemia, which is now more commonly known as Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) only recently was acknowledged as being a legitimate form of cancer even though it nearly always has led to the development of leukemia.
Published in the latest issue for the American Cancer Society journal was this study and it takes a comprehensive look at pre leukemia and its signification on the human body.
New Research Revealed
According to researchers, an estimated 45 percent of patients living with pre leukemia and relapse respond to a second course of treatment, but don’t receive the quality and duration in the second response that they did in their initial rounds of chemotherapy. This new finding leads researchers to believe that initial treatments should be longer rather than many rounds of therapy because it is more beneficial in the long-run.
The study showed that those treated with about three courses of decitabine resulted in 10 out of 22 patients examined got any sort of response. A partial or complete response in all three cell lines were experienced by three patients, seven experienced improvements in the hematoma and as little as 50% drop their transfusion requirements. The average overall rate of survival was reported to be 28 months and decitabine-retreated people had about a 13 month survival rate thereafter.
Decitabine retreatment in 12 of the patients not achieving a second response either had no effect or suppressed the abnormal cells without bone marrow repopulation with the normal cells. Of these 12, four patients went from having pre leukemia to developing acute leukemia.
In conclusion, the authors state how beneficial it is for pre leukemia patients to receive long initial rounds of chemotherapy followed by shorter rounds of maintenance.
What is Pre Leukemia?
Pre leukemia is an illness that influences the bone marrow and causes the dysfunctional red and white blood cells to increase. The cells normally blast and create from the stem cells while spreading in the blood stream and killing the blood cells that are normal. As a result of this abnormal production of blood cells, less red blood cells are formed in order to circulate and carry to the body oxygen.
Those adults in their 50s are commonly effected by pre leukemia and even though therapy is at hand, researchers are trying hard to find a cure. In most cases, patients who have pre leukemia develop blood cell cancer, which is better known as leukemia. As shown in this study, these patients benefit most from this new DNA hypomethylating agent, dectabine,

Could you have cervical cancer for months without having any severe symptoms?
"JB" is right. Never wait for symptoms with cervical cancer.
Symptoms would be a very late finding and would develop only after years of missing the primary cervical lesion.
We see this only in women who have not had regular medical check ups and PAP smears.
