Although caring for a loved one with a blood cancer can be rewarding, it can sometimes be tough too. You may not even think of yourself as a carer or be aware of the support you can have to help you through this difficult time.

Key people who can help you are-

Your medical team at the hospital.

Clinical Nurse Specialist - ask your Consultant to introduce you to them.

Ask Your Nurse to refer you to the social worker - they can help with advice on benefits and may even help you complete the forms.

Your GP surgery will also have information about what support is available in your area.
