What do #Leukaemia, #Lymphoma, and #Myeloma have in common? They’re all blood cancers. According to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society, more than 1.5 million people today are living with or in remission from blood cancer.
Blood cancers are a complex group of diseases. Advances in treatment are helping more people live longer after diagnosis. But more than a third of people with blood cancer live fewer than 5 years after diagnosis.
But what are the symptoms? Can a test reveal whether you have blood cancer before you even have symptoms? Who’s at risk and what should you discuss with a doctor?
#BloodCancerAwarenessMonth exists so that more people will learn the answers to these questions. You can help by sharing facts and information online and in your community, as well as supporting people who are living with blood cancer.
