Online blood cancer support groups

February 16, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

- Free

The Leukaemia Foundation runs regular online support groups, free of charge and 100% confidential.

They are facilitated by an experienced Blood Cancer Support Coordinator.
The support groups cover a range of subjects. Upcoming support groups for February and March are outlined below.

16 February –  ‘Living alongside COVID’.
Both blood cancer and the COVID pandemic can be described as feeling like “a marathon not a sprint”. The extended nature of the pandemic has caused many physical, emotional and financial challenges, particularly for those living with blood cancer. In this group, we’ll discuss the long term impact, with a focus on how to balance living life while managing your health during a time of uncertainty. This is not meant to be a medical information session, rather a discussion on the impact the pandemic has had on our wellbeing.
For more information and to register, please see HERE.

4, 17, 23 March – Managing fatigue

Cancer-related fatigue is a common experience for people living with blood cancer. It’s important to understand what causes it and how it differs from general fatigue.  Apart from the obvious physical impact on everyday life, it can also affect mental health and functioning.  During this session, we explore expectations and understanding of fatigue, management strategies and where to seek professional support.  Together, we will share our personal experience, knowledge and resources to assist one another in managing fatigue.
For more information and to register, please see HERE.

Please note that it is important to register early as numbers are limited.
