Blood Cancers

Breast

 – How does this cancer start? Simply put, this cancer which impacts so many begins when cells in the breast grow uncontrollably. Normally, these cells will form a tumor, which can be felt as a lump and visible or recognizable with a simple self-screening. The tumor can be observed through x-rays. If it is found to be malignant – cancerous – the cells can invade other surrounding tissues. Though cancer in the breast is dominant with women, men can get breast cancer as well.

 – The initial sign of could be a lump, though, not all breast lumps are cancerous and could be benign or abnormal growths. Other breast cancer signs or breast cancer symptoms could include: swelling without a distinctive lump, skin irritation or dimpling, nipple discharge, pain, redness, or thickening of the nipple.

 – One of the most widely-known and visible cancers is a cancer of the breast. There is even a month dedicated to the risk of breast cancer and treatment. October is when all of the associations get very active encouraging breast cancer screening, awareness, how to know if you are a higher risk based on your personal history. October is also when everything from product labels to food selections goes pink to honor anyone with breast cancer and raise awareness for getting checked often especially if you are a candidate form an increased risk of cancer in the breast.

Leukemia

 affects the body’s ability to form blood tissue correctly. It also affects the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. White blood cells are one of the body’s main defenses against infection, but those that suffer have bone marrow that produces abnormal white blood cells that are unable to fight infection effectively. Depending on the type and specific diagnosis a stem cell transplant may be recommended.

 – There are four main categories of Leukemia: Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The main differences in these categories are where cancer began and how quickly it grows or spreads in the body. Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common form of acute Leukemia. In this disease, certain cells found in the bone marrow, called blast cells, do not mature correctly. The cells are still formed but are not able to ward off infection as non-diseased blast cells normally would.

 – Researchers cannot point to an exact cause but it is currently thought to arise from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Some unknown type of mutation occurs at the cellular level causing the mutated cells to spread throughout the body. Smoking, working with chemicals, such as Benzene, previous cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation), are all risk factors.

 – Symptoms are often vague making it difficult to spot. If you have any of the following signs and symptoms especially for a prolonged period it is a good idea to consult a doctor: weight loss you can’t explain, fatigue, reoccurring infections, unexplained bruising, bleeding easily, bone pain, bone tenderness, recurring nosebleeds, fever or chills (unrelated to another illness), sweating, or swollen lymph glands.
