We are delighted to announce the launch of a new service for anyone who is about to start treatment for lymphoma.

Our new Preparing for Treatment Service is designed for anyone who is about to start treatment, or is supporting someone about to start treatment. If you have just been diagnosed, or are having treatment after active monitoring or following a relapse, this service is for you.

The service introduces ‘prehabilitation’: the idea of preparing you physically, practically and emotionally so that you are in the best position you can be to cope with and manage your lymphoma treatment, and recovery afterwards.

The service brings together key information to help you understand your condition and what treatment might be like, as well as preparing for lifestyle, practical and emotional changes during treatment. The information is in bite-size chunks, and signposts to more in-depth information if you want it. It also links you to sources of support and ways to get in touch with us, and with other people who are in a similar situation to you, or have been through it before.

The service is free to use, and you can register instantly online.

“Staring treatment can be really daunting, particularly if you feel that you haven’t had time to prepare emotionally as well as physically and practically. We hope this service helps people to feel more informed about their condition and treatment, more empowered to prepare for treatment, and less alone in their experience. The service is a virtual ‘we’ve got you’.

We couldn’t have done it without you!

This new service was made possible by everyone who donated to last year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge. Thank you so much for your support.
