🔴 Blood Cancer Awareness Month 🔴

Blood Cancer Awareness Month is held every September to raise the profile of blood cancer, which doesn’t get the attention of other cancers.

Blood cancer is a term that’s used to describe many different types of cancer that can affect your blood, bone marrow or lymphatic system. It happens when something goes wrong with the development of your blood cells.
