How we can help

In 'patients & families', we aim to provide a host of up-to-date information, practical advice and support for blood cancer patients, their families and carers.

There is a whole section on patient support, which outlines the help the Leukaemia & Blood Foundation's Support Services can offer. This ranges from providing disease-specific information booklets and a lending library, to the comforting environment of education and support programmes. We also hope you find value in the stories our patients have so generously and openly shared with us.

We explore other aspects of living with these diseases, including how to look after yourself, telling others and moving on post-illness, and we have tried to provide some useful and supportive advice for carers too.

We are here to help you, your family and your carers throughout the journey - from diagnosis and treatment, to recovery.

If there is something you would like to see included in this site, please email us at lbf@leukaemia.org.nz, or call us on 0800 15 10 15.
