Emotional support/counselling

A diagnosis of a blood cancer/disorder can have a dramatic impact on a person’s life. At times it can be difficult to cope with the emotional stress involved. The Leukaemia Foundation’s Support Services staff can provide you and your family with much needed support during this time. They may refer you or a loved one to a specialist health professional eg. Psychologist if required.
