Cancer is another word that they

use for disease. Cancer is a caused by uncontrolled division of

abnormal cells in a part of the

body. This is mainly caused by cells

that are not really normal meaning

that it is not a normal cell meaning

like a break away, which is not

good because then the cells split.

And with it splitting it cause them to

take over other tissues in your body.

Leukemia is a cancer that messes with the tissues that forms the blood in your body. With that being said it also causes it to make more immature white cells.

When healthy you have the THREE main blood cells.› White

› Red

› Platelets

And each of these three play a big role with your blood system, because one helps fight infection, carry’s oxygen through your body, and to help with blood clot.

So when having Leukemia the bone marrow is

where the blood cells are made. And when

the bone marrow makes the not normal cells

this is called Leukemia.

Normal white and the abnormal cells do not

affiliate with each other. This can cause the

pain in the body.

Leukemia

› Acute or Chronic

› Lymphocytic or Myelogenous

These are four types of Leukemia, meaning

that one makes it grow fast, one gets wrose

slowly, and there are the ones that affect the

white blood cell.

Leukemia is a cancer to be known as one that there is no way to prevent it. This is

because many people would not know of a factor that they may have that causes

Leukemia.

This can be affected family history wise, but not really directed from the parents.

Being exposed a lot to radiation

This is a greater risk for those individuals who has down syndrome.

And also being much exposed to smoke and gasoline.

There are many places around this world where you could go to get help if you have

the cancer Leukemia. There are places where you could get tested to.

American Cancer Society, you can call or visit there website for more info.

And for being tested you can just go to your personal family doctor and if you think that you have it you can explain it to him and then he will check you up and check for the systems of Leukemia. And if so will

test you.
