Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, affecting more than 3,500 children in the U.S. every year.
Leukemia affects two types of white blood cells that are responsible for protecting the body from disease: lymphocytes and granulocytes. Leukemias that affect lymphocytes are known as “lymphocytic” or "lymphoblastic," and those that affect granulocytes are called “myeloid” or “myelogenous” leukemias.
Although this page is geared toward one particular child, one particular family, Healing Maya is dedicated to helping families affected by leukemia and other childhood cancers everywhere.
