Blood cancer

Blood cancer is a type of cancer that affects blood cells. Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma are some of the most common types of blood cancer. Around 40,000 people are diagnosed with blood cancer each year in the UK, and over 250,000 people are currently living with the condition.  Blood Cancer UK is dedicated to beating blood cancer and supporting those affected.
