About Leukemia
Leukemia is a type of cancer that involves the blood and tissue that forms the blood and bone marrow. The cause of leukemia is unknown, but certain risk factors can cause it. Some risk factors include exposure to radiation, which include surviving an atomic bomb blast, diagnostic x-rays and radiation therapy. Other risk factors are smoking, benzene, chemotherapy and even Downs syndrome.
About Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy or Chemo is a cancer treatment which uses chemicals to fight and kill cancer cells. It comes in different forms and can be taken intravenously or orally in a pill form depending on the type and dose needed. Chemo therapy is often invasive and causes serious side effects. It sets out to kill cancer cells but also kills good cells along the way. It cannot determine the good cells from the bad. It must be given in doses because one big dose can actually be fatal.
