Dennis She says that hours before the event, no one suspected that Julia had leukemia. She had no warning signs; she only felt fatigued and sometimes her skin had bruises that she bruised easily. “When she had a bruise, we would ask her how she did it and she would say, ‘I don’t know’ and she would shrug it off,” Dennis told the Daily Mail.
The family is devastated. Jenna Randall, mother of the adolescent, says that they never imagined that their discomfort was due to cancer. She “never had more than a cold and she has never been hospitalized for anything since she was born.”

A Julia he loved Japanese culture and dreamed of being an artist. “She wanted to learn everything she could about it. It was like an encyclopedia,” Jenna said. “We bought her a kimono because she always wanted one. She loved Japanese culture and wanted to visit it one day.”
The minor also had a very close relationship with her brother, Jackson Chavezwho after her death told her mother: “I know she’s my sister, but she’s my world.”
Why can leukemia take time to be detected?
Leukemia, being a type of cancer with varied symptoms, requires different types of analysis to determine its presence in a body and the state in which it is found. As a result of this, the signs of the disease can be confused with others, such as anemia or other viral conditions.
