    A Little Bit About Leukemia: Leukemia is a type of cancer that causes the body to make too many white blood cells, causing a breakdown of the body's immune system. This uncontrolled production doesn't give these cells a chance to properly mature. The immature cells either won't function well or will interfere with the production of other white blood cells. Normally, these cells play an important role in the body's natural defence system. They target and destroy foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria. White blood cells are made in the marrow (the spongy core) of your bones. Without healthy and functioning white blood cells, the body is at risk of developing severe and sometimes fatal infections. Acute leukemia develops within days to weeks, and large numbers of immature cells called "blasts" build up. These cells can't function as well as normal white blood cells, so people with acute leukemia are at a higher risk of infection. Because the body is so busy producing "blasts," it can't make as many red blood cells or platelets, which can cause anemia and bleeding disorders.
