Leukemia

Hi Readers,

We just read that Bluish most likely has leukemia.  Read about leukemia here and here.  Then, summarize what you found out about the disease.

Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

  1. Dear Mrs.S,
    Kids don't get to cancer very often. You can get very disgusting skin when you have cancer. You can tell if you have cancer you start to have headaches. There are about 5 treatments to cancer and to maybe cure it. You can talk to people that have had and they can tell you what they felt.

  2. Dear Mrs. Springston,


    I learned that leukemia is mostly the cancer kids get. Its
    rare for adults to get leukemia. Leukemia makes the white
    blood cells turn the bone marrow harder than its suppose
    to be. Cancer spreds quikly.

  3. Hi Abdiel,

    You have a good start. But the article I gave you had several pages. Please read more and tell me what else you find out...such as the cause of leukemia, the main symptoms, how it's treated, etc.

    Thanks,
    Mrs. S

  6. Dear Mrs.S,
    Cancer happens when cells start to grow and grow out of control. You can say leukemia like this loo-kee -mee-uh. The operating room sometimes calls the OR or surgery center. You may some kind of drink that will make you go to sleep. It makes you feel relaxed and makes you sleepy. You can help people if they really need it you would go to an emergency room.

  7. Dear Mrs. S,
    First, Leukemia Is the most common type of cancer kids get. Leukemia involves the blood forming organs. Next, White blood cells fight infection but when people have leukemia the white blood cells don't work like there supposed to. About 98% of leukemias are acute. Most diseases usually attract to kids from 2 to 8. The treatment the kids get will be free with out the disease.

  8. Dear Mrs.Springston,


    Leukemia is when white blood cells turn the bone marrow to hard. If two children were twins and if one of them had cancer the other brother gets 20%, 25% of the cancer. Chemotherapy, thats the treatment that kids with cancer get. Chemotherapy is so strong it causes hair loss. Leukemia is dangerous.

  9. Dear Mrs Springston,

    Cancer starts when cells in the body start growing and dividing out of control. Leukemia is a type of cancer that kids get but it is still rare for kids to get. Leukemia involves the the the blood flow and blood forming organs in the body such as the bone marrow. Leukemia produce white cells that multiply and after a while the the bone marrow is covered by the white cells. Now normally white cells protect the body but if the white are made from Leukemia it attack the marrow.
