Program

Join LLS for a free virtual education program for adolescent/young adult patients with blood cancer and their families. This program will help to educate you and your family about the issues that face the AYA blood cancer community.  The speakers will focus on the unique challenges that arise in the AYA community while fighting blood cancer such as sexual health, social media and relationships, pain management and resiliency, finances and support resources, and integrative health.  Participants will also learn about the resources available in their community and those provided by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

We encourage you to invite your caregiver and family members.
