Blood cancer information

If you or someone you love has just been diagnosed, read the section on our website 'I've just been told I have blood cancer'.

Here you can find information on key things to know, what happens after you're diagnosed, help with your emotions and everyday life and more.

If you'd rather read information offline, our booklet Your blood cancer diagnosis: what happens now? covers the key things you'll want to know first - what your diagnosis means, what happens next, and what to ask your medical team. It also includes real stories from people who've been where you are now.

We work to give you good information – information that’s helpful, accurate and true to life. We are a member of the PIF TICK scheme, the UK’s only independently-assessed quality mark for health information.

All our information is written with medical experts and people affected by blood cancer, so you can trust it's accurate and up to date - as well as clear and easy to understand.

You can find information about blood cancer on our website and in print.

We have general information about blood cancer, including:

• Signs and symptoms
• Treatment and side effects
• Living well with blood cancer
• Blood cancer terms

We also have information for friends and family who want to know more about blood cancer and support a loved one.

There are many different types of blood cancer, and how they're diagnosed, monitored and treated can vary a lot. We have detailed information on different types of blood cancer, to help you find information that's relevant to you.

A blood cancer diagnosis is hard enough without having to process it in a language that isn't your own. If you speak a different language or are supporting someone who does, see blood cancer information in your language.
