Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a life-altering event that brings a whirlwind of emotions—fear, uncertainty and concerns about treatment and the future. Lymphoma is no different - especially considering its complexity, with two out of three patients leaving hospital not fully understanding their diagnosis. Standard cancer services lack lymphoma-specific information, nor is their provision tailored, individualised or linked to subtypes of lymphoma or stages of the lymphoma experience.

Our free services for people who are newly diagnosed with lymphoma include a helpline, booklets, Preparing for Treatment programme and online support meetings. Each of our services provides clear, in-depth, tailored content focused solely on lymphoma, helping people affected by lymphoma to better understand and manage their diagnosis, treatment and aftercare. Above all, we understand the impact of lymphoma and can answer questions, allay concerns and provide much needed emotional support.
