I'm a 25 year old and I'm wondering if it's possible to be diagnosed with leukemia at this age. I know it's more common in children, but I've heard that adults can also get it. Are there any known cases of adults in their twenties being diagnosed with leukemia? Are there any signs or symptoms I should look out for? I'm hoping someone here can help me understand if I'm at risk of being diagnosed with leukemia at 25.
