The support group is open to anyone affected by a diagnosis of lymphoma, myeloma, leukaemia or any other blood cancer.

You don’t have to be the person diagnosed in order to attend; friends, family members and colleagues of people with blood cancer are all welcome.

Karen Bonell, Lymphoma Action’s regional development manager in the north, said: “I’m so pleased that to have this support group in Lancaster.

“Many people say to us they felt isolated by their blood cancer diagnosis and that their support group is a lifeline.
