What Is Leukemia - Help Us Please Posted: 11-20-06 05:53am
My only and closest friend saw violet dot
marks on her body below the stomach on the
legs. And she feels pain in her left
foot and left knee.
Some one told her it is leukemia
her age is 29 and a mother of one child
kindly advise us what to do
as if she sees a doctor then her employers
will know and she will loose a job even it
is not leukemia
at we should know the exact symptoms of
leukemia to go for tests or exact test
that can clearify the same,neither it is
leukemia or not.

There are a lot of different types of
leukemia and some are very treatable.
First find out what type of leukemia she
has then I think you can probably search
on google and get some answers. But,
basically it is a cancer of the blood
cells and the white blood cells in
particular do not mature properly and
grow a lot of immature cells so while the
patient has a lot of white blood cells
they are not good ones. They usually have
lower red blood cells and lower platelets
than normal. So they may be tired, bleed
easily and get infections that they have a
difficult time getting over.
Here is a little web site about leukemia.

How did your friend end up going??
By the sounds of it, it doesnt seem like
leukemia but as the above poster said,
there are many forms of it!
