Lymphoma is the fifth most common cancer in the UK, with someone diagnosed every 27 minutes. Lymphoma Action is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting everyone affected by lymphoma – including family and friends.  We are there for people at diagnosis, through treatment, and to help them live with and beyond lymphoma. We provide quality information, reassurance and guidance and connect people going through a similar experience so that no one has to face lymphoma alone.

Carol, a professional musician, was 26 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. She faced a decade of treatment and throughout it all, Carol and her family were supported by Lymphoma Action. Carol has kindly shared her story to support this Appeal.

Our confidential helpline services are open to anyone affected by lymphoma – including family members like Carol’s mum. We listen, give information and offer emotional support to help people move forward. We're here at every step.

Many people find it helpful to talk to someone who’s been through a similar experience. Our peer-support Buddy Service links people to our volunteer Buddies who have lived experience of lymphoma. Our Buddies offer empathy and understanding.

Lymphoma is a complex disease, with over 60 sub-types. We provide free award-winning information in multiple formats, including online and in print. We also deliver events for people affected by lymphoma and the health professionals who support them.
