Specific expertise in leukemia
With in-depth knowledge of your specific type of leukemia.
Fast evaluation when every day counts
In acute leukemias, the time between symptom and diagnosis matters.
Second opinions without complications
We review your diagnosis and current plan with the same rigor as a first diagnosis.
In person or by video call
If you can't travel to Guatemala City, the initial evaluation can be done remotely.
Is this consultation right for you?
Signs that warrant an evaluation:
Extreme fatigue with no clear explanation
This isn't just being tired — it's not having energy even for everyday things, even after a full night's sleep. When the bone marrow isn't producing enough healthy red blood cells, this is often how the body signals it.
Bruising or bleeding without cause
Gums that bleed while brushing, bruises you don't remember getting, small red spots on the skin — signs that platelet levels aren't where they should be.
Infections that won't let up
Infections and colds that seem to never fully clear. When white blood cells aren't functioning properly, the body loses part of its defense.
Swollen lymph nodes, fever, or weight loss
On their own, these could be many things. Together, they're reason enough to request a full evaluation.
A practice built over time, one patient at a time.
Close, attentive care, with the rigor of the best Hematology practice.

Types of leukemia I've treated
Leukemia isn't a single disease — it includes several distinct types, based on origin, rate of progression, and treatment. Knowing which one you have is the first step to understanding what to expect.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Progresses quickly because immature myeloid cells multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow. It's more common in adults and usually requires starting intensive chemotherapy without delay.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Originates in immature lymphocytes and is the most common type of leukemia in childhood, though it also occurs in adults. Because it progresses quickly, it requires immediate treatment after diagnosis.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
Develops slowly and, in most cases, is linked to a specific genetic alteration (the Philadelphia chromosome). Many patients maintain a good quality of life with targeted oral therapy and periodic follow-up.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
It's the most common type of leukemia in older adults. In many cases it progresses so slowly that the first step is careful observation rather than immediate treatment.
