RE: Let's talk about cancer of the blood cells [Often referred to as leukemia]
Do you realize that Leukemia is actually cancer of the white blood cells and not cancer of the blood ? This is no brainer as white blood cells are also popularly known as leukocytes. Looking at the word leukemia, it only tells you one thing; ~excess~ white blood cells in blood - Leuk - white blood cells, emia - blood. It’s pretty much like anemia (lack of blood; an - no or lack of, emia - blood). There’s also a big difference between acute and chronic conditions. Acute conditions occur momentarily and do not really last overtime but when they do, they are termed as chronic. So in other words, chronic conditions accumulate overtime with the effect being more devastating when compared with acute conditions. This only means that acute or chronic leukemia is not scientifically correct and at a point, you make it seem like they mean the same thing but they do not.
Really sorry about your loss man. Stay strong. Cheers !
Thanks for the added information. It means a lot.
Thanks for stopping by @kingabesh. However, I wasn't trying to sound smart when I decided to make this post. like I mentioned in the early section of this post..
This post was made for a close friend who I lost to leukaemia. So I don't think "This is no brainer.." Was necessary, there are other subtle ways to pass a message across.
This was obviously a typo error, as I referred to leukaemia as cancer of the blood cells in the other parts of my post, and all my explanations made it obvious I was referring to cancer of the blood cells
Thanks again for stopping by.
