Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Your blood cells form in your bone marrow. In leukemia, however, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. These cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it hard for blood to do its work.The symptoms include fever , shortness of breath , easy bruising or bleeding,bleeding under the skin,weakness or feeling tired,weight loss or loss of appetite .Blood transfusion treatment using cells donated by healthy volunteers can help replace red cells,platelets and other blood components.
