Leukaemia

Leukaemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by an overproduction of white blood cells, which can interfere with normal blood cell production. As a result, people with leukaemia may experience anemia and other related symptoms like fatigue, fever, and an increased risk of infection. Treatment for leukaemia is typically long-term, but it can be managed with a variety of therapies including chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell transplant. Leukaemia is a serious disease and can be life-threatening if left untreated. However, with the right treatment, it is possible to control the disease and experience a full and active life.
