World Blood Cancer Day 2025: Understand the Worth of Every Breath

Lifestyle News: Many diseases enter our body silently, without making any noise, without giving any indication. Blood cancer is one of them. It slowly takes root inside the body, and by the time we realize it, a lot has already deteriorated. World Blood Cancer Day, celebrated on 28 May, comes to remind us of this—that we should be alert in time.

Blood cancer: Not one, but three faces

Blood cancer is not just one disease but attacks the body in three different forms.

• Leukemia: Affects blood and bone marrow.
• Lymphoma: Weakens lymph nodes and the immune system.
• Myeloma: Destroys the body's defense system of antibodies.

Their effect breaks a person not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally.

When the body itself calls for help

The symptoms of blood cancer are never sharp but quite important. Constant fatigue, frequent infections, sudden weight loss, excessive bleeding from minor injuries, unexplained night sweats, and pain in the bones or joints — all these can be signs that something serious is going on inside the body. Ignoring these signs can put life in danger.

A test that can save lives

Getting tested for blood cancer is very important and easy too.

• CBC test (Complete Blood Count)
• Bone marrow biopsy
• CT/PET scan
• Genetic testing

These tests help understand the depth and type of the disease. There is no need to be afraid, but it is important to understand how to get tested on time.

A promise to ourselves, and to our loved ones

On this World Blood Cancer Day, let us make a small but powerful promise: we will listen to our body, not ignore the symptoms, and get tested when needed.

Because the fight against blood cancer begins when we identify it in time.
