Letting people know about your diagnosis can be key to getting the right support or can help others make needed adjustments for you. This can be difficult in reality, either for you or for those close to you.
Join us on Thursday 14th July for our webinar that discusses ways to tell others about your leukaemia diagnosis, the benefits of telling others and how to prepare for the possibility of a negative reaction towards your diagnosis.
What questions and advice will be covered?
Due to the high number of attendees, we are not always able to answer each individual’s question, however, we aim to explore a large variety of topics such as:
- Your family, friends and children
- Your employer and insurers
- Your child’s/children’s school and your own education provider if in training or study
- Groups and societies you are involved with such as voluntary organisations, sports teams, clubs and churches etc
- Anyone providing your healthcare such as your GP, dentist, optician, pharmacist, physiotherapist, complementary therapist and counsellor etc.
We will be joined by:
Jamie Woods – acute leukaemia patient
Margaret Miller – chronic leukaemia patient
Caroline Kerr – Clinical Nurse Specialist for Leukaemia & MPN at Belfast City Hospital, Belfast Health and Social Care Trust
Catherine Langton – Myeloid Specialist Nurse at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
