How does someone get leukemia?!?

Q: im just curious, what things can i do so i dont get leukemia and what is the worst thing that i could do to get it? im scared cuz my cousin has been recently diagnosed with leukemia, and she’s my age.

A: In general, cancer occurs when cells divide without a check or a control. This uncontrolled division leads to faulty cells that do not perform the proper tasks – as in leukemia, or it produces a tumour as in most other cancers. In AML Leukemia, the cells that produce white blood cells are cancerous and produce a great number of nonfunctional WBCs.It isn’t known exactly what causes leukemia but there are several ideas about what exactly causes the uncontrolled division of these cells. Risk factors include exposure to high amounts of radiation, previous rounds of chemotherapy, high exposure to benzene, smoking, some genetic problems such as Downs Syndrome, and sometimes faulty genes inherited.

I’m 16 and on an exchange program in Japan, and my family lives on the east coast in the Usa. And I still have several months left.I can’t leave now. I worked so hard to get accepted. Thanks for your help.

A: Well first i am so sorry! I know what it was like when i found out i had leaukemia. Keep your head high! Dont give up yet! First you said you had more months in Japan. Dont give up yet! First you need to (if you havent already) tell ur family. Second the doctor said 50/50 chance so dont do anything rational until it is a definite answer. Third you need to just keep your mind of it. Assuming that you have friends over in japan talk to them and keep your mind of it.Best of luck and you are in my prayers. If you need to talk email me at [email protected].
