Reflection
Leukemia is hard for any family that has it. There are all kinds of things that I learned when reasearching this topic. I learned that 2 year olds got it. i also learned that just because someone in your family has Leukemia doesn't mean that you will get it. People who get Leukemia got it from DNA changing in your bone marrow. That is what I learned while researching Leukemia in children.
