Majel was an American actress and producer who graduated from the University of Miami. She is well known for her role in the Star Trek Series which is a science fiction genre. She died in 2008 due to leukemia. I have never seen Star Trek, but I have heard of it numerous times. I wonder if it is any good? Only one way to find out, I guess!
2. Leukemia:
Leukemia is a type of bone marrow cancer and is caused due to a lack of normal blood cells. There are four main types of leukemia and the names are so difficult to pronounce, that I would like to spend more time reading into it. Having an enlarged spleen is one of the most common tell-tale signs of a child having leukemia.
3. Enlarged Spleen:
The enlargement of a spleen is called "splenomegaly" and it is one of the four signs of hypersplenism. Symptoms include abdominal pain, chest pain, etc. My wikipedia trail is really taking a wide turn. It started out with something interesting and light-hearten and now is turning into something medically and gross.
4. Abdominal Mass:
It is a swelling in the human abdomen and may be caused by having an enlarged liver or kidney. It can be discovered by having a routine checkup and is mostly associated with digestive problems or severe pain. It can be diagnosed by different measures. Wikipedia listed 21 different / more causes of an abdominal mass - too many to list.
