All you have to do is a search on leukemia. The American Cancer Society is a good site. Because this really sounds like a homework question.

1.) I was diagnosed when I was five. My symptoms were rapid weight loss for no reason, weird random bruises, nosebleeds that wouldn't quit, and I fainted a lot.
2.) It affects everyone differently. For me, it depends where I am. If I'm in the hospital, I tend to get pretty depressed. But when I am in remission, like right now, I am just a normal kid. I do art and I sing and write and play viola- I have hobbies just like everybody else. I'm a Freshman in HS and I love Latin and I hate Chemistry. I'm just a normal kid, and it irritates me when others don't see that. I don't think about cancer every waking moment. In fact, I rarely think about it at all when I'm cancer-free.
3.) That depends. When you relapse, you tend to be really tired. And no matter what, you're told to take it easy as far as rough sports.
4.) Not really.

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals, food additives or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that the AMA is keeping from the American public, that are being used in Europe and around the world. Here is some information that is getting hard to find--"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825; "A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052; "Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077; "The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410; and "Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966.
Type 'used books' into your browser and find a good site, then type in the ISBN numbers and get some great help cheap.
I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) after they went on a program of herbs and nutrition.
The American Medical Association and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law in this country, and they are in it for the money, and don't care about individuals. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy.
This is not a joke. Look into it. Best of luck
