Lymphoma Action is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting people affected by lymphoma, the most common blood cancer in the UK, and the most common cancer in young people aged 15 to 24. We’ve been providing trusted information and support since 1986, helping thousands of people affected by lymphoma. Our work drives improvements in diagnosis, treatment and care. We’re here for you, every step of the way.

This magazine has been partly funded by independent grants from AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Gilead, Kyowa Kirin, Roche, SERB Pharmaceuticals and Takeda. As per our policy, they have no influence over our content.

Every donation to Lymphoma Action makes a difference to people affected by lymphoma.
