Leukemia: When the defense system becomes the number one enemy,
Leukemia is a cancer that occurs in hematopoietic tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system, but this is not just an ordinary inflammation, it is a "mutation" that turns a friend into an enemy.
How did that happen?
Let's start with the abnormality of the DNA in the white blood cells, causing them to divide non-stop and not die according to their normal life cycle. The scary thing is that they are "embryonic cells" that do not prevent pathogens at all, but they enclose space in the bone marrow, so that the factory cannot produce red blood cells (that deliver oxygen) and platelets (that cause blood to stop flowing) normally.
How dangerous?
• Immune system collapse: You will be infected easily and violently because there are only rubbish leukocytes.
• Severe anemia: pale face, easy to get tired, palpitations because no erythrocytes deliver energy.
• Abnormal bleeding: a blood supply, a nosebleed, or difficult to stop because of low platelets
• progression: These malignant cells flow along the bloodstream to accumulate along the spleen, liver, and lymph nodes until they become swollen.
How to cope:
A blood test (CBC) is the easiest and fastest way to see what's going on inside. Don't wait until the body shutdowns, because some types of this cancer spread faster than you can set up!
