Leukemia, also spelled leukaemia, is a group of blood cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal blood cells. These blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells.Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising, feeling tired, fever, and an increased risk of infections.These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells.Diagnosis is typically made by blood tests or bone marrow biopsy.

The exact cause of leukemia is unknown.A combination of genetic factors and environmental (non-inherited) factors are believed to play a role. Risk factors include smoking, ionizing radiation, some chemicals (such as benzene), prior chemotherapy, and Down syndrome.People with a family history of leukemia are also at higher risk. There are four main types of leukemia—acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)—as well as a number of less common types. Leukemias and lymphomas both belong to a broader group of tumors that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid system, known as tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues.

I was diagnosed with ALL and had a cord blood transplant when my donor dropped out and decided not to donate stem cells after being on the register, cord blood transplants should also be mentioned in this video as not a lot of people know about it. I’ve been in remission since, the odds aren’t great 30% chance of survival.. but I’m doing okay so far.

Thanks for mentioning nosebleeds. My girlfriend was diagnosed with anemia, before being diagnosed with leukemia. She frequently gets nosebleeds and when bruises randomly showed up I figured what we were in for.

Thanks for sharing such a comprehensive video and information about Leukemia. I have been reading and researching a lot about Leukemia since my father was diagnosed with Leukemia back in 2021. No one in our family has had Leukemia and my dad is not an alcoholic or a smokers either. His white blood cells increased to 27, 000, yes, twenty-seven thousand. Thank God we understood it soon and he started being treated in Pakistan. They prescribed him IMATINIT 400 mg (taking 800 mg a day) and has been cured Alhamdulillah by God's grace. At the beginning of taking the mentioned tablets, he started to feel pain in his joints and muscles for around a month or two and then it become normal day by day. The tablets have decreased his red blood cells, hemoglobin, and also platelets, and then they reduced the mg he was taking and now he is Alhamdulillah fine and healthy but he still takes those tablets.

I got diagnosed 3 months ago. CLL. I refused to have chemotherapy or radiation. We are treating it ourselves with the guidance of a doctor and some trained nurses. You might say it is immunotherapy. This includes a lot of prayers, Hydrogen, Ozone, intravenous vitamins, blood transfusions (when needed) cutting out raw sugar, cutting out lactose ( milk and other dairy products) eating healthy, almonds, red light therapy, getting enough sun, resting, eliminating unnecessary stress, drinking clean and ph balanced water, taking olive oil … avoiding toxins and infections, Taking blood tests weekly and monotring progress.
Progress is slow, but I feel good, not losing weight and am hopeful to beat this. There is a lot you can do, and if you do opt for chemotherapy- all above things can be done to lessen the awful side effects of chemo.

The good news about this is, leukaemia is one of those cancers that isn’t a death sentence, and in children and teens, there is a 92-94% survival rate. Of course, it depends on the type of leukaemia you have. (And the overall survival rate is 61%. Your odds of living are very high.)

[krishgemnani]

Helpful. Done the preparation for my test.❤️
