Here are some ways people living with blood disorders, lymphoma, and leukaemia can manage treatment while protecting their wellbeing:
🔹 Speak up, your care should reflect you.
🔹 Rest when your body asks for it.
🔹 Lean on loved ones, you don’t have to do this alone.
🔹 Care for your mental health as much as your physical health.
🔹 Hold onto small moments of joy.

Do you know only 30% of patients are able to find a compatible donor within their family. 💔 That means 7 out of 10 patients must depend on the kindness of a stranger for their best chance of survival.

For many people with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant can be lifesaving but it can only happen if a matching donor is found.

The good news is that one small action from you could make a life-changing difference. Joining the register is simple, free, and starts with a cheek swab. Order your swab kit and also tag your family and friends.

Every day in the UK, 13 people lose their lives to leukaemia. Behind that statistic are families experiencing heartbreak, futures forever changed, and loved ones taken too soon.
But there is hope. Survival rates continue to improve thanks to medical advances, ongoing research, and the extraordinary generosity of stem cell donors who offer patients a second chance at life.
For many people living with blood cancer, finding a matching donor can mean the difference between life and death. Yet too many patients are still waiting for the match they urgently need.
By joining the stem cell register, you could be the person someone has been hoping for. It takes only a few minutes to sign up, but your decision could change and even save a life forever.

Every day, patients with conditions like leukaemia are searching for someone genetically similar enough to give them a second chance at life. For people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, that search is far harder simply because there aren’t enough registered donors.
One of the most powerful, practical actions you can take today is to join the stem cell register by ordering your swab kit, and if you’re already signed up, tag someone who should be too.
