Program

Please join LLS for a free virtual education program for Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) patients and their families.  

In this program we will provide patients and survivors, their families and caregivers with an overview of the latest treatments available for AYA blood cancer patients, survivorship issues, late and long-term effects, and support for neurocognitive and psychological issues. We will also discuss reproductive health needs, stress and anxiety associated with a cancer diagnosis, its impact on survivorship, and methods to better cope. A Questions & Answers session will immediately follow the presentation.

Participants will also learn about resources available in their community and those provided by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We encourage you to invite your caregiver and family members.
