Mission Monday: January Education Programs
When a patient is diagnosed with a blood cancer their life changes dramatically in an instant. It is not only their life that changes, but that of their family and friends. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) understands and appreciates that a blood cancer patient does not tackle their diagnosis alone. For that reason, LLS has created a series of different telephone and web education programs for patients and their support group that will help them along the rocky road to remission.
Below are two educational phone and web education programs that are FREE and available to you. Please take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about ALL and Myeloma.
