Any of various acute or chronic neoplastic diseases of the bone marrow in which unrestrained proliferation of white blood cells occurs, usually accompanied by anemia, impaired blood cloting, and enlargement of the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen.

FORMS OF OCCURENCY

Leukemia can occur in either of two forms:

ACUTE

In this form the disease progresses rapidly. Life expectancy is short without treatment ( a few weeks to a few months). But drugs and/or bone marrow transplants have extended life expectancy for children with acute leukemia and cured about 72%. Acute leukemia is most often seen in children, though it can occur at any age. Accounts for about 1/2 of leukemia cases.

CHRONIC

In this form the disease progresses slowly. Will proper treatment, life expectancy is 3 to 20 years or more from onset of illness. Chronic leukemia occurs most often in adults, but can occur at any age. Accounts for about 1/2 of leukemia cases.


Blood forming tissue - Normally these tissues produce red cells, several kinds of white cells and platelets. In leukemia, abnormal white cells invade the blood-forming tissues, especially the bone marrow, and disrupt normal production of blood cells. as result, swelling occurs in lymph nodes, spleen, liver and kidneys.

There are many things going on when you have leukemia.Her platelet count is probably low and this is causing the bleeding. Platelets help your blood clot and if you don't have enough of them them you can bleed spontaneously.

Ok number one ask her she will know she probably wants to talk to someone about it anyway. So of she has a sympathetic ear then you guys can learn about it together and share each others problems and fears about all things and be better freinds for it. To answer your question leukemia is a cancer of the blood, so she probably had a nose bleed after a very long treatment sesion. Hope this helps.
