By Tyler Chittavong

Leukemia is a cancer when your bone marrow produces abnormal blood cells. Normal blood cells die after a certain amount of time. When they die new ones grow and take their place. A person with leukemia has blood cells that don’t die. This can crowd blood cells and not allow the normal blood cells to do their job.

Most people only live 5 years after being diagnosed if not cured. People who destroy the cancer after treatment do have a chance of it returning. If the cancer doesn't come back you will feel normal.
