Situation
Lymphoma changes lives, whether it’s worrying about symptoms, starting treatment right away, coping with a ‘new normal’ or caring for a loved one. Plans, hopes and dreams can change – just like that. People can experience a range of emotions including anger, resentment, guilt, hopelessness, along with low mood & anxiety. Not forgetting the sheer complexity of this blood cancer, with less than two-thirds of lymphoma patients completely understanding their diagnosis.
Solution
Our helpline team are a listening ear for people who are at their wits end with worry and confusion. They are often the first point of contact and are able to offer a listening ear, provide expert knowledge, send trusted and accurate information and put people in direct contact with others facing similar physical and psychological challenges. But above all the team understand the impact of lymphoma, can answer questions, allay concerns and provide much needed emotional support.
