Your bone marrow is where stem cells grow. These stem cells become white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In most cases of leukemia, there are too many abnormal white blood cells. These leukemia cells crowd out the normal blood cells in your bone marrow and build up in your lymph nodes, liver and spleen. When the leukemia cells crowd out your normal cells, your blood can't do its job. You may bleed or bruise easily, have more infections and feel very tired.
