Emotional Support

You may feel a mixture of emotions following a blood cancer diagnosis. We’re here to help you cope with the emotional impact of being diagnosed and living with a blood cancer.

There is no right or wrong way to feel or react to a blood cancer diagnosis because it affects everyone differently. If you’re struggling with your emotions following a diagnosis, there is lots of help available and information on ways to manage your feelings.

Your feelings and emotions

A diagnosis of a blood cancer can affect you emotionally as well as physically. We can help you to understand what you’re going through.

Coping with a blood cancer

Even though you may feel low and unable to feel like anything will help, there are a number of things you can do to help yourself feel a bit better.

When someone close to you has a blood cancer

Hearing the news that someone you love has a blood cancer can be one of the most overwhelming and devastating times of your life. Whatever your relationship with that person, it’s natural to feel a range of emotions.

Coping with bereavement

For most of us, losing a loved one can be devastating and lonely. Grief is what you will normally experience when somebody you are close to dies and it affects people in different ways.
