Blood cancer is the UK’s fifth most common cancer, yet symptoms are often vague or overlooked. This awareness month helps people recognise signs early, understand available treatments, and support those affected. Learn more about blood cancers like leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma — and where to find trusted help and advice.

Raising awareness. Saving lives. Supporting families.

Blood cancer includes over 100 types of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic system — including leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. It is the fifth most common cancer in the UK, yet many people are unaware of the symptoms.
These can include:

  • Unexplained fatigue
  • Night sweats
  • Unusual bruising or bleeding
  • Persistent infections
  • Bone pain or swollen lymph nodes

Symptoms can often be vague and easy to dismiss. This month is a reminder to listen to your body — and seek advice early if something doesn’t feel right.

This awareness campaign is also about:

  • Encouraging earlier diagnosis
  • Providing better emotional and practical support
  • Highlighting vital blood cancer research
