The support group is open to anyone affected by a diagnosis of lymphoma, myeloma, leukaemia or any other blood cancer.

You don’t have to be the person diagnosed in order to attend; friends, family members and colleagues of people with blood cancer are all welcome. Karen Bonell, Lymphoma Action’s regional development manager, said: “I’m so pleased that we have this support group in Lancaster. Many people say to us they felt isolated by their diagnosis and that their blood cancer support group is a lifeline.

“As well as meeting others with similar experiences, it’s a chance to hear from informative speakers and join interesting discussions – all in a safe, supportive and welcoming environment.”

Anyone interested in attending on September 5 and beyond can contact Karen on 07710 393 891 for an informal chat or just turn up on the day.
