What could you do to get rid of leukemia?
As with cancer, leukemia is considered 'permanent' - something that can go into remission, but will generally stay with you forever. There are ways to get leukemia under control (after 5 years of remission, medical staff usually consider leukemia 'cured'), depending on the severity and type of leukemia. The most common methods consist of regularly taking prescribed medicine for it and going through chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Afterwards, you'll have to see whether or not the treatment(s) successfully forced the leukemia into remission. If not, then the patient will have to go for another round, either until the leukemia goes into remission or until the medical staff decide that it is a hopeless case. Leukemia may, despite being in remission for a while, still resurface no matter the state your body is in.
Is leukemia a noun?
Yes. It is the name of a disease. A disease is a thing. Therefore it is a noun.
