My son is doing a slideshow presentation for health class on (by a random draw) leukemia. Does anyone have some resources for basic information on leukemia, such as risk factors, prevention, symptoms, and treatments. I have plenty of info that is specific to me and CML, but looking for more general information.
DX 3/30/2016 WBC 484.2 FISH 95.3
took Hydrea 3/30-4/11
taking Sprycel 100 mg since 4/5
10 day break from Sprycel for platelet count of 12 4/26-5/8
7/07/2016 1.47% (IS)
9/30/16 BMB PCR .1259 switched to new onc
12/30/16 PCR .1569
4/7/17 PCR .0904 MMR

Slides:
#1
Leukemia is cancer of the blood
Word "Leukemia" means "white blood"
Blood cells grow out of control
The blood does not work as it should
#2
Four types of leukemia
Two marrow (AML, CML), two immune system (ALL, CLL)
These are four different diseases with one name
#3
Many Causes
Some are known, some unknown
Known: nasty chemicals
Unknown reasons: causes most leukemias
#4
Good news:
New drugs have saved lives -- including my Dad
Research is advancing
Leukemia patients living longer
#5
Leukemia is stupid
My Dad is smart
He takes TKI drugs and is alive
Yeah Team!
