Leukemia Treatment at Sunridge Medical FAQ
What is Leukemia?
Leukemia is a type of cancer found in your blood and bone marrow, caused by the rapid production of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it difficult for the body to function properly. Symptoms often include fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising or bleeding.
In many leukemia patients, white blood cells may become suppressed or dysfunctional leading to the immune system being unable to fight off simple infections or starting to attack other cells in the body. Finally, a deficiency in red blood cells can lead to anemia which may case many other symptoms including fatigue, weakness and trouble breathing.
