Blood Cancer Awareness Month

The month of September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month and September 15 was World Lymphoma Awareness Day.

As chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is both a leukemia and lymphoma, this is a big month for us.

This is our month to increase awareness and support for those with blood cancers.

What can we patients and caregivers do to help? Plenty.

Write about your CLL journey for our newsletter. Email us at Support@CLLSociety.org and we can hold your hand you with the process. You will be glad you did and will be helping others by sharing your experience.
Use social media to spread the word about the many tragic unmet needs for those with CLL and other blood cancers and the resources to help.
Advocate for more government support of blood cancer research. Here is a link to AACR (American Assoc. of Cancer Research) page that makes it easy for you to support cancer research in general.
Tell your friends about the CLL Society and the other great blood cancer charities and the work being done and that needs to be done.
Support your favorite blood cancer charity.
