Usually, white blood cells fight infection, but the white blood cells in a person with leukemia don't work theway they're supposed to. __________(47) The abnormal white blood cells multiply out of control, fillingthe bone marrow and making it hard for enough normal, infection-fighting white blood.cells to form.Other blood cells—such as red blood cells (that carry oxygen in the blood to the body's tissues) andplatelets (that allow blood to clot)—are also crowded out by the white blood cells of leukemia. Thesecancer cells may also move to other parts of the body, including the bloodstream, where they continueto multiply and build up.
