what is leukemia?

Leukemia is a type of cancer. Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All cancers begin in cells, which make up blood and other tissues. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place.

Sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. Leukemia is cancer that begins in blood cells.

In people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. The abnormal cells are leukemia cells. At first, leukemia cells function almost normally. In time, they may crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This makes it hard for blood to do its work.

what is bone marrow? ( we called it tulang sumsum)

The bone marrow makes different types of blood cells.

Each type has a special function:

1.White blood cells help fight infection.

2.Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues throughout the body.

3.Platelets help form blood clots that control bleeding.

SYMPTOMS of leukemia

1. Long fever or night sweats.

2. Frequent infections

3. feeling weak or tired.

4. HEADACHE

5. bleeding and bruising easily

6. pain in the bones or joint

7. swelling or discomfort in the abdomen

8. weight loss

In the early stages of chronic leukemia, the leukemia cells function almost normally. Symptoms may not appear for a long time. Doctors often find chronic leukemia during a routine checkup—before there are any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they generally are mild at first and get worse gradually.

In acute leukemia, symptoms appear and get worse quickly. People with this disease go to their doctor because they feel sick. Other symptoms of acute leukemia are 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.
