Men’s Blood Cancer Support Group – Surviving & Thriving
Online via Zoom
What does it mean to survive blood cancer? Some people after treatment ask ‘what now’? Others describe feeling a sense of ‘guilt’ having gotten through treatment and survived. For many, blood cancer is a chronic disease so the concept ”survivor” may be hard to relate to. While the aim of blood cancer management is to not only survive blood cancer but to thrive, we will explore both the physical and emotional reality of this along with some guidance to enable you to live as well as possible.
