Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer. Blood cancer patients experience some of the most significant delays to diagnosis of all cancer patients - with 1/3 of patients diagnosed in an emergency setting, when their disease has progressed and outcomes are likely to be worse. We're a member of the Blood Cancer Alliance , and we want to see a new national cancer strategy that contains specific measures to address challenges in diagnosing blood cancer to help patients lead longer, better lives. #Lymphoma #BloodCancer

Initially started as a way of acknowledging the work of the physics professor WC Röntgen, who discovered X-rays, it has since developed into a broader celebration of radiography and the health professionals who work within this specialty. This year’s theme ‘Radiographers: Seeing the Unseen’ focusses on the vital role of radiographers in diagnosis and health management.

“I remember thinking after the stem cell transplant that ‘this was it’ and I wouldn’t see my sons go to university. Thankfully I did, and the developments in science and medicine have made my remission possible. For that, I will be eternally grateful. “I have been given a lot of information and support from health professionals and resources like Lymphoma Action. This always gave me hope of a future… In 2018, we went to a Lymphoma Action conference… here, we learnt about CAR-T cell therapy and different types of lymphoma from leading haematologists. Little did we know that these consultants would actually be involved in my future treatment plan!” Rachel shares her experience of lymphoma and Car-T cell therapy 👉 https://lnkd.in/ei4nqmZ9 #Lymphoma #BloodCancer #DLBCL #FollicularLymphoma #CARTCellTherapy
