Leukemia is cancer of the blood or bone marrow.

There are many types of leukemia. Some are more treatable than others, and a few are completely curable.

There are more and better treatments being discovered all the time, so even a modest life extension of a few years might be enough for modern medicine to catch up and prolong life even further.

There are some that are resistant to treatment and a few that are currently incurable. Early detection and identification of type is very important for successful treatment; while some are treatable, the treatments can do little good if health is already poor.
