I had read that those excessive WBC seem to attack other cells in the body. When the body tries to replace body cells excessively it can lead to cancer. When body organs change size from some health issue this may lead to excess cells reproducing or cancer. I think treatment which can be effective with controlling the affects of leukemia is possible. Today I have a treatment which has reduced my WBC count to normal and I do not think about other ill affects from leukemia.
