That stinks. My ex girlfriend had Leukemia I spent over 6 hours reading on it. I'm not a doctor and the details are a little hazy right now but there are two types of leukemia Acute Leukemia Which is grows fast within a few weeks and Chronic Leukemia which is very slow cancer and takes years to come into effect. Within those to types there are 4 sub types

Leukemia is a type disease that affects the blood forming cells. It begins in the marrow of the bones and it happens because there are too many white blood cells forming in the body. Acute Leukemia is more predominate in young children 21- while Chronic Leukemia is more predominate in adults.

Ill pm you a site that I had bookmarked last year and was very helpful to me.

Live laugh and love
