Understanding your blood

When you are diagnosed with a blood cancer, there will naturally be a big focus on your blood, particularly on the production and function of your blood cells.

For many people, there will be a whole new language of blood to learn. It is important to understand how and where blood is produced, the different types of cells in your blood and what they do, and the lymphatic system to help you understand your disease and treatment.
