Blood cancers fall into three main categories:
- Leukaemia, which affects your white blood cells and is named according to the type of white blood cell it is affecting
- Lymphoma, both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin, which affects your lymphatic system
- Myeloma (also known as multiple myeloma), which affects the plasma cells in your bone marrow
We provide care for patients who are diagnosed with haematological cancer.
We provide support, information, counselling and education to you, your family and carers throughout treatment.
