How long can you have symptoms of acute myeloecytic leukemia before it is diagnosed?

Symptoms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can develop rapidly, often within weeks to a few months. However, the duration before diagnosis can vary widely among individuals, as some may experience vague symptoms that are mistaken for other illnesses. On average, patients may have symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, or easy bruising for several weeks before receiving a definitive diagnosis. Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment.
