Exploring real life with blood cancer: The mind and body experience

Описание: With advances in the management of blood cancer, people are living much longer. For many, this also means living with the long-term effects of the disease or its treatments. Whether you were diagnosed with acute or chronic leukaemia, myeloma, MDS, MPN, amyloidosis or lymphoma, the long-term effects may be impacting on your quality of life.
In this webinar, we discussed the long term and often chronic nature of blood cancer and its treatments, along with holistic approaches to manage the impact of these on the life of someone with a blood cancer. By changing the conversation, we hope to empower people living with blood cancer to take more control and subsequently help improve their overall quality of life.

Topics and speakers include:
• ‘Living your best life with blood cancer’ with Dr Cecily Forsyth (Clinical Haematologist, Central Coast Haematology)
• ‘Psychological effects of blood cancer’ with Jane Fletcher (Health Psychologist, Melbourne Psycho-oncology Service)
• ‘Fatigue and physical effects of blood cancer’ with Julie Allen (Physiotherapist and lymphoma survivor)
Plus our panel of experts answer questions from the webinar participants.
