this video talks about leukemia, it tells about how it happens. Leukemia occurs when you gain a significant amount of white blood cells so your body has a harder time fighting off infections, there is no evidence as to why this mutation occurs. It also talks about treatments such as bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, ect. There is not a distinct reason why people can get leukemia, no one knows if is hereditary, genetic, or environmental factors.

This video is an interview with 17 year old kid named Joe who was diagnosed with leukemia multiple times the first when he was 2. It was a 5 year chemotherapy course, he was constantly in the hospital. He had many treatments, such as a blood marrow transplant. When he turned 9 because he started having a cold and a fever, but nothing was picked up when he went to the doctor. In the winter he started noticing more symptoms but didn't tell anyone until he started to get worried, he was diagnosed again. When he started chemotherapy was when his hair started falling out which was all in preparation for the transplant. He gives advice on how important it is to not take anything for granted. It is important to understand the wide range of ages this cancer affects.

Video #3: What are the Types of Leukemia?

# data[].attributes.body
This video tells us that there are many different types of Leukemia. The most dangerous being the acute type of leukemias because it needs to immediately be treated since they are the ones that spread the most fast. Compared to chronic leukemia which can be tracked with blood work and not worried as much about. Any type of leukemia that starts with A = acute and any that start with C = chronic.

There are many symptoms that are shown when you might have leukemia such as weight loss, red spots under skin, loss of breath from easy tasks, fevers, bleeding easily, ect. She also talks about the types of cancer that children 0-14 can get, which is ALL and AML. She goes through treatments that are used to help children who are suffering from leukemia, the 3 being Induction treatment, consolation treatment, and maintenance treatment.

This video shows what it is like for such a young child to have to fight ALL. It also shows the effects that it has on the parents because as the mom said she feels like she had let him down. Not only does this affect the child but everyone around him. It can have significant impact on people. The doctor in the video talks about how she hopes that in the future there will be no need for discussion about cancer because she hopes a cure would come about that will always make everyone 100% negative.

This video goes more in depth about the scientific reasons why leukemia occurs. He discusses other reasons why leukemia can occur from things like exposure to radiation, formaldehyde, and benzene. It can also occur from congenital disorders, being that if you have an extra copy of chromosome 21 than it puts you at a higher risk of developing leukemia. Genetic differences can interrupt what the cells then produce reducing the chances of a functional cell to be produced.  This can determine what type of leukemia a person gets. He discusses depending on which cells are interrupted it will determine what type of leukemia you can get from that as a result. There are 4 main types of leukemia in total - AML,CLL, ALL, and CML.  The video then goes into talking about the separate types of leukemia.

In this video she talks about how it is generally treated, with chemotherapy. It is done by using chemicals thus chemo. It is used to target the rapidly dividing cells. There are 3 different phases of chemotherapy. 1) Induction phase, lasts 4 weeks - goal being to kill as many leukemia cells as possible, to find if it has worked you need to do a bone marrow aspiration. If they have no leukemia cells left they go into remission, but this does not mean they are completely free of cancer cells because they could possibly come back. 2) Consolidation phase - 2 goals 1. get rid of the remaining cells 2. to prevent the spread into the brain. The chemotherapy is put into the fluid around the brain, in hopes that it will be able to reach the brain. 3) Maintenance phase, last between 2-3 years - Goal is to prevent it from leukemia from coming back. Radiation is used on the brain if doctors suspect that they are at a higher risk of getting these cells that might be in the brain. They never give this to kids that are under 5 because the brain is still growing, it can lead to cognitive and psychological issues. When having a tough leukemia bone marrow is then used from a donor to replace the patients unhealthy bone marrow.

Her health was not doing very well so she got blood test. She got diagnosed with leukemia and it was really hard for everyone. Nancy's treatment is very harsh for her, mentally and emotionally. It is the struggle of figuring out how to tell her what is wrong with her without being too harsh and scare her. The mother choose to tell family and friends very quickly, but close family immediately. She realized she needed to contact people because she felt by telling them she would feel supported through everything. But she did not want everyone to know. Many people through her work supported her and understood that it was hard to be able to pay for everything since medical bills needed to be paid first and foremost. The mom talks about how it was important to meet with other families that were going through the same thing as them. You have to get through it.

Video #10: Leukemia and Lymphoma Introduction.... Distinctions in Oncology

Although I have gone over what leukemia is I thought it was important to go over what Lymphoma was as well since this name is included in a lot of the names for leukemia. Lymphoma is  a solid tissue compared to leukemia which is a more of a liquid substance. She uses the example of a lemon v lemonade, lymphoma is a solid compared to lemonade which is a liquid. You can convert a lemon to lemonade but not lemonade to a lemon. As i mentioned before how lymphoma was included in leukemia some examples of this are CLL - Chronic lymphocytic Leukemia and SLL -  Small lymphocytic Leukemia. If you are interested in learning about more in depth scientific information about leukemia this video presents it. She discusses Proliferative Disorders which is when you increase cell division which splits into two categories, Myeloid and Lymphoid. Hematological Malignancies which are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma MM. Marrow failure which is Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplastic. And Benign Leukocyte reactions, which is quantitative and qualitative. Since the video is so in depth it is quite hard to write down everything that is occurring in the video, overall it included, types of leukemia, learning about lymphoma, Neoplasia v normal, ect.

I decided to learn about leukemia because my moms brother when he was 11 was diagnosed with leukemia, so I was interested what it was since I did not really know what it was. I also thought I would be able to share it with my mom so she could learn more about what her brother was battling.  I learned a lot of things, but the one that stuck out to me the most was that if a child gets leukemia than they will either get ALL or AML. I found this interesting because it makes me realize that any child who gets leukemia will have acute leukemia meaning that it will be a rapidly working cancer. It is quite upsetting to know that there is no blood cancer that a child will get that is not rapidly attacking their bodies.
