Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Leukemia can be hereditary.
And your all symptoms like anemia, joint pain, bone pain, swollen lymphnode, breathing difficulty, abdominal pain etc are seen in leukemia.
You are also having positive family history for leukemia.
So better to consult oncologist and get done lymphnode biopsy and bone marrow biopsy for the diagnosis of leukemia.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
