Make sure…

The signs and symptoms of leukaemia can be hard to recognise.

Whether you are feeling tired all the time, have infections that keep coming back, or bruising and bleeding you can’t explain. This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re calling for people to spot the signs and ask their GP for a full blood count to make sure it’s nothing serious.

Make sure it's just a case of being run down

Our mission is to bring together the leukaemia community so we can find and fund the life-changing research that matters most. Together we can stop leukaemia devastating lives through research, awareness and advocacy.

A Second Chance at Life

For patients with blood cancer such as leukaemia, a stem cell transplant can offer the chance of a cure. But when a transplant fails or the disease returns, some patients may need a second transplant to have hope of long-term survival. Despite advances in transplant medicine, an NHS England policy introduced in 2017 continues to restrict access to second stem cell transplants based on a rigid ’12-month rule’.
In this blog series, we explore why the policy is under review, how treatment outcomes have changed over the last decade, and why charities including Leukaemia UK, Anthony Nolan and DKMS are calling for a more personalised, evidence-based approach to care.
