𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 — a chance to learn more and act early. Blood cancers — leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma — begin in the bone marrow or lymphatic system and often present with common symptoms: persistent unexplained fatigue, recurrent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, painless swollen lymph nodes in the neck/armpit/groin, bone or joint pain, heavy night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and shortness of breath from anaemia. Risk factors include increasing age, family history, prior high-dose radiation or chemical exposure (for example benzene), weakened immunity and certain genetic conditions (eg. Down syndrome). If you notice one or more of these symptoms for several weeks, get a clinical exam and a full blood count (CBC); early referral to a haematologist and prompt diagnostic tests (blood smear, bone marrow biopsy, imaging, immunophenotyping) can dramatically improve treatment options and survival.
You can help by sharing accurate information, supporting patient groups and donating blood or registering as a stem-cell/bone-marrow donor if eligible. Treatment advances — targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and bone marrow transplants — have improved survival rates for many blood cancers, but access and early diagnosis remain critical, especially in regions with limited resources. Use this month to check symptoms, encourage screening, attend awareness events, and support research and care in your community.

For those who are not a stem-cell donor yet, now is the time to become one! It is an easy and logical way to save someone's life !
Day 0 - transplant day.
Unbeknownst to us, the #StemCellDonor was flown here to #Christchurch from their home on the #NorthIsland, and donated their cells yesterday, on the same ward as my son; we didn't need to worry about whether the terrible weather #CycloneGabrielle would affect any of this!
So, the donated cells were fresh, and on hand, and in plentiful amounts. Isaac got a 144ml bag of slightly pinkish gloop transfused into him this morning.
A friend's daughter has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. She and others like her need a stem cell transplant urgently.
Please consider signing up to be a donor. The process to enrol is easy and painless.
Can I please ask you all to share this with connections? You might help to save a life! Thank you!
