Alexandra Cummings told Newsweek she attributed her symptoms to work stress and seasonal allergies—but never imagined it was something more sinister.
When 36-year-old Alexandra Cummings started experiencing a range of symptoms earlier this year, she attributed them to a host of factors. Perhaps it was the stress of starting a new job or perhaps seasonal allergies. But one thing she never imagined it would be was cancer.Cummings, of Albany, New York, first noticed symptoms in March 2024, telling Newsweek that she suffered with 'mental fog and a low-grade fever.
Ungerleider, a board-certified internal medicine physician, said it's entirely understandable why Cummings overlooked her symptoms because it's easy to assume they're something more common.'Typically, patients may experience fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, easy bruising or bleeding, frequent infections, and persistent fevers. Other symptoms can include bone or joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, and unexplained weight loss,' Dr. Ungerleider said.
