Who is at risk of getting leukemia?
A risk factor is something that increases your risk in getting a something. Some risk factor for leukemia are smoking or even being around somone who is smoking. Exposure to high levels of radiations is also a risk factor. Example people who were around the atomic bomb in Japan during world was 2 have higher risks of getting certain kinds of leukemia. Exposure to chemicals such as benzyme and formakdehyde, people who are around these chemicals have higher risk of certain types of leukemia than others. The places where you would be around these chemicals would be at a work if your work deals with chemicals be extra careful cause they are a risk factor.
I found a video on youtube and it was about a boy named Gavin and he had leukemia and someone put a slide show of picture throughout of hs joruney with leukemia and at the end it says that they are lucky that he is still alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfaomKddHKw. The way they put this together is amazing the music choice they used was perfect to they pictures and to the situation.
