Blood Cancer Awareness Month is held every September to raise the profile of blood cancer, which doesn't get the attention of other cancers. Every year, our blood cancer community comes together to raise awareness.

Blood cancer symptoms vary depending on the type of blood cancer, whether it's leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS, MPN or any other blood cancer.

Blood cancer symptoms include:
• Weight loss that is unexplained
• Bruising or bleeding that is unexplained
• Lumps or swellings
• Shortness of breath (breathlessness)
• Drenching night sweats
• Infections that are persistent, recurrent or severe
• Fever (38°C or above) that is unexplained
• Rash or itchy skin that is unexplained
• Pain in your bones, joints or abdomen (stomach area)
• Tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest or sleep (fatigue)
• Paleness (pallor)
Some symptoms look different in different skin tones

Ordering medicines when they aren’t needed can lead to more issues than just having too many in your cupboard:
- Medicines safety: Holding onto medication can lead to mistakes about what to take and when, especially if your prescription changes.
- Supply issues: If some people stockpile, it can create shortages, making it harder for others to get what they need.
- Wasted resources: Medicines that are not used often, go out of date and have to be thrown away. This wastes NHS funds that could be better used elsewhere.

Ensuring that you only have the medication you need is easy with a few simple steps.
1. Check what medicines you have at home before you place an order, and only order what you need.
2. Hand back: When you collect your medicines from your local pharmacy, make sure that you only have what you need. If you return an item before you leave the pharmacy, it can likely be reused.
3. Stick to your routine: Order your medication when you are running low (7-10 days), and no earlier. You can set up reminders in your calendar to help you check to see if you need to order more.
