What is Cancer?   Treatments  

 

   Like other major diseases like polio, cancer doesn't have much of an effect on physical activities.  Most people who have Leukemia, cancer that starts in your blood, go through chemotherapy which is taking drugs to try to stop it.   That method makes your hair fall out as you all probably know.  It can also have other side effects. Chemotherapy treatments began during World War ll.  Just by looking at a person, you can't tell if they have cancer or not.  There are no major signs like being in a wheelchair.
