Leukemia

Leukemia is like a rebellious chapter in the intricate history of our blood cells. This specific type of cancer mostly affects blood itself as well as the spongy bone marrow, which is located inside bones and is utilized to make blood cells.
The strange thing is that leukemia results in aberrant blood cell development. Instead of producing fully formed, functional white blood cells, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells known as leukemia cells. Because the defective cells don't carry out their assigned role, the healthy cells are pushed out.
Myeloid or lymphoid leukemia can be classified as either acute or chronic, depending on the specific blood cell that is affected. Possible symptoms include fatigue, bruising or bleeding easily, recurring illnesses, and even weight loss.
Leukemia is like a disruptive character in our health story who needs attention and intervention to turn the tide and bring things back into balance. Treatment options include stem cell transplantation, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to try to restore equilibrium in the production of red blood cells.
