Leukemia affects bone marrow, producing too many abnormal white blood cells. Lymphoma targets lymph nodes, causing tumors. CML and CLL are specific types: CML is chronic, with a specific gene mutation, while CLL involves a slow rise in abnormal lymphocytes.

Thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder, reduces the body’s ability to make healthy red blood cells, leading to anemia, fatigue, and facial bone changes. Treatable with blood transfusions and medication, it can be severe or mild.

A bone marrow transplant replaces diseased marrow with healthy stem cells, rebooting the body’s blood production. It’s for conditions like leukemia and often involves a donor.
