DVDs

LBC have produced a wide range of videos providing a comprehensive overview of blood cancer with focus on bone marrow biology, disease specific information, and management strategies. You can find many of these on our Youtube channel.

Children’s books

We currently have four picture books which have been written specially for children who have been diagnosed with a blood cancer, also useful when a family member has been diagnosed. They describe the processes of diagnosis and treatment, and are a helpful tool to explain these concepts to children.
