Blood cancers; including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, can affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system.
Some warning signs may be easy to dismiss as stress, ageing or a minor illness: persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, recurrent fever or infections, unusual bruising or bleeding, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, or persistent bone or abdominal pain.
Importantly, these symptoms do not automatically mean cancer. However, when a change is persistent, unusual or concerning, seeking professional medical evaluation is an important step.
This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, let’s encourage more people to know the signs, ask questions and seek care early.
Awareness is not about creating fear. It is about giving people the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health.
Your health deserves your attention.
