Answer 2

Leukemia cells are abnormal cells that cannot do what normal blood cells do. They cannot help the body fight infections. For this reason, people with leukemia often get infections and have fevers.

Also, people with leukemia often have less than the normal amount of healthy red blood cells and platelets. As a result, there are not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body. With this condition, called anemia, patients may look pale and feel weak and tired. When there are not enough platelets, patients bleed and bruise easily.

Like all blood cells, leukemia cells travel through the body. Depending on the number of abnormal cells and where these cells collect, patients with leukemia may have a number of symptoms.

In acute leukemia, symptoms appear and get worse quickly. People with this disease go to their doctor because they feel sick. In chronic leukemia, symptoms may not appear for a long time; when symptoms do appear, they generally are mild at first and get worse gradually. Doctors often find chronic leukemia during a routine checkup -- before there are any symptoms.
These are some of the common symptoms of leukemia:

Fever, chills, and other flu-like symptoms;
Weakness and fatigue;
Frequent infections;
Loss of appetite and/or weight;
Swollen or tender lymph nodes, liver, or spleen;
Easy bleeding or bruising;
Tiny red spots (called petechiae) under the skin;
Swollen or bleeding gums;
Sweating, especially at night; and/or
Bone or joint pain.

In acute leukemia, the abnormal cells may collect in the brain or spinal cord (also called the central nervous system or CNS). The result may be headaches, vomiting, confusion, loss of muscle control, and seizures. Leukemia cells also can collect in the testicles and cause swelling. Also, some patients develop sores in the eyes or on the skin. Leukemia also can affect the digestive tract, kidneys, lungs, or other parts of the body.

In chronic leukemia, the abnormal blood cells may gradually collect in various parts of the body. Chronic leukemia may affect the skin, central nervous system, digestive tract, kidneys, and testicles

Answer 3

Leukaemia is a term given to a group of malignant diseases characterised by diffuse replacement of the bone marrow with proliferating immature white cells in circulation and infiltration of lymph nodes, spleen and liver. Males are affected twice as often as females. The origin of leukaemia is not clear, it may result from a genetic predisposition plus an exposure to ionising radiation, benzene or other chemicals.

My Grandfather died from Leukaemia before I was born, I also have had lost an uncle from it too.

Leukaemia is classified according to the predominant proliferating cells. Acute leukaemia usually has a sudden onset (this is what my G'dad had). It had early symptoms of fatigue, pallor, weight, loss bone or joint pain, easy bruising to fever, hemorrhages, extreme weakness and repeated infections. Chronic Leukaemia (which is what my uncle had) develops slowly and systems do not appear for many years.

I hope this was of some help.
