Christmas. A time for joy, get-togethers and a whole lot of festive spirit.
But for many, Christmas can be a stark reminder of a painful time in someone’s life.
I remember those dreaded words vividly – “it’s acute myeloid leukaemia” (AML).
I held my daughter Hannah in my arms, wondering if this was the last time I would do so…”
At Leukaemia Care, we’re supporting everyone whose lives have been impacted by leukaemia, MDS or an MPN diagnosis like Janine through our Snow Much Love Appeal.
Whether you or a family member, friend, or colleague, have been affected by a leukaemia diagnosis, consider leaving the gift of support or remembrance this Christmas.
Support available over the festive season
If you need emotional support, you can call our free helpline on 08088 010 444 or you can send a message to our team via WhatsApp on 07500 068 065 (services available Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm).
For help over the festive season (24th December – 1st January), you can use our moderated discussion forum: HealthUnlocked. Here, you can talk to others affected by a leukaemia, MDS or MPN diagnosis, share experiences and get support.
Alternatively, you can request to join any of our closed Facebook groups.
