CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (CLL) - It's Your Life, Live It!

This is just an excerpt of The Cancer Group's book on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

All leukemia comes from blood cells, which normally function to provide the body's cells with oxygen (red blood cells), protect them from invading germs (white blood cells), and promote blood clotting after an injury (platelets). This system usually functions beautifully, and it's proper workings are crucial to human life. These blood cells division is normally under tight control, and when a cell starts dividing out of control, it becomes "cancerous."

Cancer starts in just one cell! Chronic leukemias are cancers of blood cells, and are one of two basic types.

Firstly, "Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia" (CLL) which starts in a popular type of white blood cell ("lymphocyte"), and the second is "Chronic Non-Lymphocytic Leukemia" (CNLL) which includes cancers arising from every other type of blood cell besides the lymphocyte. "Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia" (CML) is the most common type in this second category.

It is critical to get prompt diagnosis and proper treatment for chronic leukemia; this can literally make the difference between life and death. Understanding your options will give you the peace-of-mind of knowing you have done everything possible to ensure a successful outcome for yourself or a loved one.
