Leukemia is something that I can honestly say I know nothing about. I never thought that it would ever hit home for me. It was something you briefly heard on a commercial or something you passed over while scrolling through Facebook. It never really registered with me. However, I found out recently that my uncle was diagnosed and recently passed from this disease.

Once the marrow cell undergoes a leukemic change, the leukemia cells may grow and survive better than normal cells.” https://www.lls.org/leukemia Abnormal becomes your normal and all you can do is produce incomplete, and irregular cells. Leukemia is a disease where white blood cells that are created in the body, more specifically in that bone marrow, are produced abnormally. Medline Plus states that “The normal number of WBCs in the blood is 4,500-10,000 white blood cells per microliter (mcL).” https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003643.htm White blood cells in this case are not going to work as effectively as a normal white blood cells, and now they are being massed produced. The normal cells slowly get filtered out and now with these abnormal cells taking over we have a severely vulnerable immune
