What is "leukemia"?

Leukaemia is a disorder or a cancer involving the bone marrow, specifically the white blood cell precursors and white blood cells that are formed as a result of these white blood cell precursors. Leukaemia can present in many different ways, meaning patients can end up under the care of physicians in many different cases. The most common is a patient who comes into a doctor's office with fatigue and the unfortunate condition of having recurrent infections. This can be as a result of having too many abnormal white blood cells in the bloodstream or having too few white blood cells in the bloodstream. In either case, white blood cells being made as a result of a cancerous diagnosis of leukaemia don't function correctly, and these white blood cells need to be treated as such.
