Hypoxia and Medicine

PLEASE HELP....?!?!?!?

ok my mom doesn't want to go to the doctor but i am really worried she has bleeding when she goes to the restroom to poop, she has bruises and this little red dots on her legs and she says her legs really hurt she is a waitress. for some reason it occur to me that she may have leukemia and i checked and article for the symptoms and this is what it said: In many cases, the first signs and symptoms of leukemia are nonspecific (vague). Early signs also may occur with other types of cancer or with other medical conditions. Although leukemia signs and symptoms vary depending on the type of disease, there are some general features. Broad symptoms of leukemia include the following: Fatigue Malaise (vague feeling of bodily discomfort) Abnormal bleeding Excessive bruising Weakness Reduced exercise tolerance Weight loss Bone or joint pain Infection and fever Abdominal pain or "fullness" Enlarged spleen, lymph nodes, and liver Chronic leukemia often goes undetected for many years and may be identified in a routine blood test. In fact, nearly one in five chronic leukemia patients do not report symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Most symptoms of acute leukemia are caused by low levels of normal blood cells, which is due to overcrowding of the blood-forming bone marrow by leukemia cells. she doesn't eat that much either because she says she feels like she is going to vomit, PLEASE HELP. (how can i convince her to go to the doctor) THANKS other symptom Tiny red spots in your skin (petechiae) but how can i tell her it may be leukimia she doesn't know what it may be and i really don't want to make her sad right now.

1. Do whatever it takes to get ur mom to see her dr. Blood in ur stool could very well be a sign of cancer. Take in consideration that shes more scared than u because its happenning to here. Convince her that the sooner they diagnose her the better chance she'll have to survive if it is. Good luck
2. I don't know how you can get her to go and I don't know if she has leukemia but it sounds to me like something is going on with her none of what you said she is experiencing sounds right to me.She may not have medical insurance and doesn't want to spend the money for the dr.visit.Tell her it is better for her to spend the money than it is for you to possibly lose her and that you need her to help you through life and that you love her very much and don't want to see her suffer.Please tell her that I am a mother of 3 grown children also that I am 50 yrs. old and I believe you are truly concerned for her well being.That what you described in your question is not anything that is normal and I feel she needs to see a doctor and that she owes it to you to go find out what is wrong with her because even grown children need their Mothers around.I hope she goes an d that what is happening to her is something simple.Good Luck!
3. My sister was the same way. She wouldn't see a doctor about her symptoms. It took a nurse (family friend) to convince her. Her symptoms were bad also. She didn't have the same symptoms as your mom. The sooner she gets help the better off she'll be. Tell her she'll have to deal with it sooner or later, the sooner the better.
4. Talk to her,try to be as honest as you can,tell her you're a little worried but don't show her ho much,just try to make her go for you.''Mom,please,go to doctor just to make sure you're ok'' or something similar.Gently talking helps in manny ways.
