help PLEASE ?! important?
can you delvelope myelodysplastic syndromes with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia ? or is it only with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
also, if you go into remission from one time of leukemia can you delvelope a different kind of leukemia a little while later?

Myelodysplastic syndrome is generally a precursor to AML, and sometimes to CLL. It can develop into those diseases, you do not have a leukemia and then get myelodysplastic syndrome.
Unfortunately it is possible to go into remission with one type of leukemia and get a different kind. However, this is rare and usually not the case.

Myelocytes and Lyphocytes are two different cell lines. Myelocytes are granulocytes - eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, which all serve different purposes in fighting off disease. They produce histone, make whats called complement which destroys the cell walls of bacteria and kill parasites.
Lyphocytes are the T3, T4 and the NK or natural killer cells. They kill viruses and cancer cells and keep you from getting sick also.
CLL is a over production of immature Lymphocytes, that you can live with and manage.
AML is worse and zaps your ability to fight off disease and is more aggressive. Lots of times AML is treated with bone marrow transplants.
Can you get AML if you have CLL, I guess but I would think it to be unlikely. I'm not an oncologist, I just work in an oncology lab looking at cells under a microscope all day.
Hope that helps a little instead of just adding to the confusion
