This National Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is highlighting the unique challenges young adult blood cancer patients and survivors face beyond treatment—including social, emotional, and other concerns.  Meet Haley. While attending college, she was diagnosed in 2020 with stage 3B nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma (NSHL). Just before starting treatment, she froze her eggs—an unimaginable situation to most 22-year-olds—as blood cancer and treatment can affect fertility.     Fortunately, Haley responded well to treatment, has reached remission, and is following her dreams.       To help young patients and survivors like Haley, LLS offers a sense of community and free, comprehensive resources for every step of the journey, including support from:  Highly trained oncology social workers and nurses, who assist through treatment, financial, and social challenges   Registered dietitians, who provide oncology nutrition consultations  Clinical Trial Oncology Nurses, who guide patients through the entire clinical trial process  A wide array of resources specifically created for young adults  LLS’s goal is to help young blood cancer patients not only survive but also go on to live their best lives. With your compassionate gift, we’ll be there for them until we find cures.    DONATE TODAY Follow Us:    ©2023 The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 3 International Drive, Suite 200 Rye Brook, NY, 10573   Disclaimer | Public Disclosure
