YA Blood Cancer Survivor & Advocate
Program
Please join LLS for a free virtual education program for patients and their families. Participants with learn about the unique challenges that young adult blood cancer patients face, particularly in learning how to self-advocate.
We hope the knowledge gained from this program will empower participants to confidently advocate for their healthcare, learn to effectively communicate with members of their health care team, and identify resources to help successfully navigate the healthcare system, including insurance planning strategies.
In addition, participants will 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.
