Leukemia as such is blood cancer, however there are 4 variations of this type of cancer which are: Acute lymphoblastic (lymphocytic) leukemia (ALL) Acute myeloid (myelogenous) leukemia (AML, for its Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Chronic myeloid (myelogenous) leukemia (CML).

People who suffer from this type of disease are not only affected physically but also psychologically since it is very hard for anyone to experience this type of news so they can present
Uncertainty
Anger
Feeling of loss of control
Sadness
Afraid
Frustration
Culpability
Humor changes
Stronger or more intense feelings
A feeling of being disconnected or isolated from others
Loneliness
Resentment.

Knowing how to maintain a relationship with a person with this type of loss is probably one of the most important things to do since that is one of the things that the person probably needs the most. There are some tips that I think could help you.
What to do:
Pay attention to the signs that the person with cancer gives you. Some are very reserved, while others will speak more openly about their illness. Respect the person's need for sharing or their need for privacy.
Let them know that you care.
Respect your decision about how the cancer will be treated, even if you disagree.
Include the person in normal projects or social activities. Let him or her say if the commitment is too much.
Listen without feeling like you always have to answer. Sometimes what the person needs the most is someone who listens with empathy.
Expect the person with cancer to have good and bad days, emotionally and physically.
Keep your relationship as normal and balanced as possible. These situations require more patience and empathy, and your partner must also continue to respect your feelings as you respect theirs.
Offer specific and concrete help (see suggestions below).

In addition to psychological support, there are also certain activities that you can do and that I am sure will be of great help to your acquaintance, family member or friend.
Send or prepare a meal. Arrange for a meal delivery program.

How to help a person with leukemia?
Offer to help with childcare. Organize a program to bring them to and from daycare.
Drive the person with cancer to and from treatment appointments.
Help with errands, homework, or chores.
Offer to take their calls if your friend is feeling tired and needs to rest.
Coordinate group visits, or coordinate the sending of cards, flowers or gifts.
Honor your friend by making contributions to charities, organizing blood donations, or doing special efforts on their behalf.
Offer to do some research on any questions you have about cancer or contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.
If the person agrees, plan a party when treatment is over or on their anniversaries. Always check in with the person with cancer before making party plans, including displaying a list of the people invited.

But what are the symptoms?
Each case is different and will depend on the place where the cancer is found, the type of immune system that the person has in addition to other factors. However some of the most common symptoms especially in children. according to the article published by "Standford" Children Health are:
Pale skin

Tiredness, weakness, or cold

Dizziness

Headaches

Shortness of breath, shortness of breath

Long-term or frequent infections

Fever

Bruising or bleeding, such as nosebleeds or bleeding gums

Bone or joint pain

Belly (abdominal) swelling

Poor appetite

Weightloss

Swollen lymph nodes (nodes)

When presenting these symptoms it is important that the person visit their doctor since only through certain tests can confirm the presence of this disease
