Taking a Look at Leukemia

children is Leukemia. Leukemia is the most common form of cancer in children and teens. It zones in on blood-forming cells, mainly white blood cells, in the bone marrow. This form of cancer accounts for almost one out of three cancers (Leukemia in Children). Why, in my opinion, this is the most intimidating form of cancer is because it takes the lives of the young who had so much potential and barely began to live their own lives. It takes those who are

serious about attending, create a list of possible colleges I’d like to attend, and take any college course. In the future, I can begin to take a test prep course, and then register for SAT or ACT. I have even considered taking a college course my sophomore year as well as look into colleges I want to go to. I plan to visit UCLA and USC. Before this semester I didn’t actually prepare for college or realize the number of things I can do right now as a freshman. I thought that I was very far from college

of the disease. (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 2014). Blood cancers cause the function, normal development, and production, of blood cells to be interrupted, as they grow uncontrollably. (American Society of Hematology, n.d.). The disease starts in the bone marrow, where cancerous white blood cells prevent the body from fighting off infections and stopping serious bleeding. (American Society of Hematology, n.d.). There are three main types of blood cancers; they include leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma

Jack’s childhood for the worse. Jack has been diagnosed with Leukemia, a blood cancer. Of course, Jack was not sure what that meant but, his parents became worried beyond belief with the long road ahead of them.

Leukemia DESCRIPTION Leukemia is a cancer that attacks a persons’ blood. This is where the patients’ white blood cells grow abnormally and mutate, blocking the growth of normal blood cells. Leukemia can cause bruising that seems to come from nowhere and a person cannot remember where they got them from. White blood cells are very important to immunity so having this cancer can highly decrease someone’s immunity to anything from the common cold to a viral infection. If Leukemia is not caught in

Treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (Bacarea, 2012) will be determined in each case taking into account the subtype of the disease, age, general condition of the patient and subsequently the response to initial treatment. The main goal of any treatment in leukemia or other hematologic malignancies is to achieve complete remission of the disease at the molecular level For this reason, there are two phases of treatment. Of remission induction and post-remission or consolidation phase maintenance with

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is also called acute lymphoblastic leukemia or ALL. This disease is primarily when the white blood cell, WBC, making tissue releases too many undeveloped lymphocytes. The immature lymphocytes then collect in lymph tissues. The tissues swell which makes it harder for the bone marrow to produce other blood cells. If the bone marrow cannot function properly the red blood cell, RBC, count decreases causing anemia. The bone marrow also cannot create the platelets needed to

I have recently read a very good book that has impacted my life in a very positive way. A Walk to Remember made me look at life in such a different way. The book was so well written and had such a good plot line that I had no choice but to become more and more intrigued in it.
